Resident Student Parking Areas

The Woodward Hall Driveway, Woodward Hall, Shea/Durgin, Rosen, Tower and the Apartments lots are designated for vehicles with valid upper-class resident parking permits.
Resident Students are not permitted to park in Commuter or Faculty/Staff lots after 4 pm. The only exception to this is on weekends from 4 pm Friday to 6 pm Sunday when parking is open. During this time residents may park outside of their designated lots.

Visitor Parking

Parking for all other visitors is available in the Moakley Center and West Campus Parking lots. For events on East Campus with larger parking needs, the Lower Great Hill and Tower lots may be used as overflow locations. Parking for Conferences and Events is arranged through CESO. CESO staff complete a Parking Services Request form and submit the completed form to the Parking Office. Hang tags are provided only upon request and are sent to the CESO event coordinator.

Parking for a group or individual visitors not associated with an event reservation (ie: meeting in a departmental office) is made by the campus department directly with the Parking Office.
Overnight visitor parking is permitted from Sunday evening through Thursday evening. A temporary parking pass is required. On weekends from 4 p.m. Friday through 6 p.m. Sunday parking is permitted in all commuter, resident and faculty/staff lots without a parking decal or temporary pass.

Summer Sessions

During the summer months parking regulations are in effect, therefore parking decals are required and commuters are not allowed to park in Faculty/Staff lots until after 4 pm.

Parking for overnight summer conference guests must be coordinated with the Parking office. Attendees may be required to have hangtags.

Parking Signs

A limited number of parking signs are available (weather permitting) to direct guests to campus. All parking sign requests go through the CESO Event Coordinator working on the corresponding event. There is a $6.00 per sign fee for each parking sign and parking signs may be shared by two groups due to high demand. The $6.00 fee applies to each sign per group, whether shared or not. The cost of the signs increase to $10.00 per sign if they are to be put out before 8:00am, taken in after 6:00pm Monday through Friday, or if used anytime during the weekend. The exact locations of parking sign placement is at the discretion of CESO and are predominately limited to campus property. Parking signs cannot be left outside overnight.

Parking Hang Tags

For the fall semester and winter break, pink hangtags are in use. For the spring and summer, yellow hangtags are in use. At the end of winter break, the Parking Office will collect any pink hangtags and provide relevant offices with yellow hangtags. At the end of summer, the Parking Office will collect any remaining yellow tags and provide relevant offices with pink hangtags.
