Parking

Student Parking
All individuals parking on campus are required to have a valid parking tag. Parking during the hours of 7:00 am and midnight daily seven days a week, is restricted to students who have been approved for parking privileges, and Emmanuel employees who have College-issued parking permits. All student parking passes will be reviewed by the Office of Student Involvement via Emmanuel’s Engage platform prior to the beginning of each semester; application deadlines are communicated online. Due to the limited parking availability on our urban campus, we strongly encourage the use of public transportation when available to students. The MBTA Green Line Fenway station is a short distance from the Emmanuel campus; reduced MBTA parking passes can be purchased from the MBTA.

Commuter Students
Parking is available to commuter students outside of the below listed areas. The student must submit a parking application to the Office of Student Involvement each semester for approval during the communicated parking application timeline via the Engage platform. Approval in a previous semester does not guarantee receiving another pass in future semesters. Students who are cross registered for classes on the Emmanuel College campus are not eligible to receive parking privileges. The Undergraduate Parking Committee reviews applications and notifies applicants prior to the start of class. Fees for the 2022-23 academic year are $350.00 per semester.

The College does not issue parking permits to resident students commuting to or to commuters who live in, the following areas of Boston (Allston, Back Bay, Bay Village, Beacon Hill, Brighton, Charlestown, Dorchester, Downtown, East Boston, Fenway Kenmore, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Mission Hill, North End, Roslindale, Roxbury, South Boston, South End, West End and West Roxbury), Brookline and parts of Newton.

Resident Students
A limited amount of parking passes are available to resident students with demonstrated need. The student must submit a parking application to the Office of Student Involvement via the Engage platform each semester for approval. Approval in a previous semester does not guarantee receiving another pass in future semesters. The Undergraduate Parking Committee reviews applications and notifies applicants prior to the start of class. Priority consideration is given to students with approved accommodations for a parking pass via Emmanuel College Disability Support Services, for-credit academic need (Emmanuel College-facilitated internships/clinicals) outside of commuting proximity via public transportation; other considerations may be made based on availability. Due to the limited amount of passes, and the academic need for Juniors and Seniors, First and Second year students are not eligible to purchase an overnight resident parking permit. Fees for the 2022-23 academic year are $500.00 per semester.

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@emmanuel.edu.

Faculty, administrators and staff should notify Campus Safety of visitors by submitting a parking request to parking@emmanuel.edu.

Tow payments  are the responsibility of the owner. Please note that these enforcement procedures ensure that parking is available for eligible faculty, staff and students.
