Student Semester Parking

Due to the limited parking availability on our urban campus, we strongly encourage the use of alternative transportation. This includes driving to your local MBTA stop and taking the train or bus to campus. The MBTA Green Line Fenway station is a short distance from the Emmanuel campus and reduced MBTA parking passes can be purchased from the MBTA. Parking is available at many MBTA stations. Please visit the MBTA web site to explore your options. 

Please read the regulations below to fully understand who qualifies to purchase parking at Emmanuel College. For additional transportation options (Zipcar, Bluebikes, Uber, Lyft) please visit our Getting Around page. 

All individuals parking on either Emmanuel College campus are required to have a valid parking permit/sticker or Parking Pass. 

Students are required to park in the Library Parking Lot unless otherwise directed.

There is no student or guest parking available at the Notre Dame Campus at any time for any reason. 

Please note that parking passes are not available to non-Emmanuel students.

All student parking permit applications must be submitted via Emmanuel College’s Engage Platform prior to that semester's deadline. 

Please only fill out the application if you qualify for parking at Emmaneul College. 

For questions regarding student semester parking, please email studentparking [at] emmanuel.edu (studentparking[at]emmanuel[dot]edu).

Commuter Students

Parking may be available to commuter students living outside of the below-listed zip codes. The student must submit a parking permit application each academic semester for approval during the communicated parking application timeline via the Engage platform. Prior parking privileges do not guarantee future parking privileges. Students who are cross registered for classes on the Emmanuel College campus are not eligible to receive a parking permit or pass.

Athletic participation is also not a rationale for a parking permit.

Fees for the 2025-26 academic year are $500 per semester. Fees cannot be pro-rated and are non-refundable. 

The College does not issue parking permits to commuters who live in the following zip-codes: 

02101 through 02145

02163

02196 through 02241

02266

02283 through 02298

02445 through 02467

Please note that a commuter parking permit is not an overnight parking pass.

Resident Students

A limited number of for-pay passes may be available for resident students participating in Emmanuel College-facilitated, credit-earning internships or clinicals that are outside of commuting proximity via public transportation. Students who are in Emmanuel College-facilitated credit earning internships should complete the McCafferty Career Center internship parking application.

Handicapped Parking and Medically Necessary Parking Accommodations

Handicapped parking spaces are located at the south entrance to the Administration Building and throughout the parking garage. The College will tow motor vehicles that are not properly placarded and parked in handicapped or reserved spaces.

Approval from the Student Accessibility & Accommodations Office is required for students seeking medical parking accommodations for a documented disability/impairment. 

No other resident students are eligible to park at Emmanuel College

Visitor Parking

Prospective parents and students visiting the campus for a tour, information session or other Admissions event are offered on-campus parking, as available. Please direct any questions to admissions [at] emmanuel.edu (admissions[at]emmanuel[dot]edu).

Faculty, administrators and staff should notify Campus Safety of visitors by submitting a parking request to security [at] emmanuel.edu (security[at]emmanuel[dot]edu).
 

Overnight Guest Parking

Emmanuel students can purchase a Temporary Parking Pass only for their guests who wish to park on campus between the hours of 5:00 PM and 7:30 AM the following morning. Students cannot purchase an overnight guest parking pass for themselves. The cost is $20.00. To purchase the pass, the host student must complete the following: 

By completing a guest parking payment, you are acknowledging that:

  • When arriving to campus, Campus Safety will provide you with your Temporary Parking Pass at the entrance booth. All pass holders must park in the Library Lot, unless otherwise directed, with the parking pass displayed on the vehicle's rear-view mirror at all times.
  • All authorized guest vehicles must exit the campus by 7:30 AM, Monday through Friday and by NOON on Saturday and Sunday, unless otherwise instructed by Campus Safety.
  • The maximum number of guest passes issued per Emmanuel student per week is two.
  • Parking availability is subject to change depending on campus events/activities.
  • Students should be aware that Guest Parking may be suspended prior to scheduled events or activities. Also, in advance of inclement weather, parking may be prohibited.  
  • Students cannot purchase an overnight guest parking pass for themselves.

NOTE: Parking passes are not available to non-Emmanuel students or their guests.

Short-Term and Hardship Parking Requests

All student short-term or hardship requests to park will be directed, in person, to the on-duty campus safety Lieutenant/OIC. If off campus, students should call the Lieutenant at (617) 735-9710. These requests are for a short time period and not for semester long parking requests. 

Safe Driving

Operating a motor vehicle on campus in an unsafe or threatening manner will not be tolerated.  This includes:

  • Driving an unregistered vehicle
  • Driving without a proper license or with a revoked license
  • Speeding or driving in an unsafe or aggressive manner
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol, cannabis,  or other drugs
  • Driving or parking on walkways or unpaved areas
  • Driving without all occupants wearing seatbelts or approved child safety restraints
  • Failing to obey driving or parking instructions of Campus Safety Officers

Any unsafe motor vehicle operation may result in the revocation of on campus driving privileges by Campus Safety.

Snow Removal

During the winter months, a snow emergency may be declared. Failure to move cars to facilitate snow removal will result in immediate towing. The College will post a declaration of snow emergency and parking restrictions on the Emmanuel College website as well as via a community email.

Towing

Vehicles may not park on the Emmanuel campus in an unsafe or unauthorized location.  All parked vehicles shall have a properly displayed permit or pass. The College will tow unauthorized vehicles parked on campus at the owner's expense. Tow fees are the responsibility of the owner. Please note that these enforcement procedures ensure that parking is available for eligible faculty, staff and students.
