Self-guided tour

Welcome to Ohio State Newark! We are excited to share our beautiful campus with you.

Parking

Parking on campus is free. All visitors must park in the white-lined areas designated for students and visitors. 

A note about our shared campus

We share a campus with Central Ohio Technical College (COTC). Though we share classroom space and other resources, we do not share faculty. As an Ohio State student, you will only have classes with fellow Ohio State students. The degrees awarded are distinctly different.
