Student Semester Parking
All individuals parking on campus are required to have a valid parking permit/sticker or Temporary Parking Pass. Parking during the hours of 7:00AM and 5:00PM daily, seven days a week, is restricted to Emmanuel students and Emmanuel employees who have been approved for parking. Please note that parking passes are not available to non-Emmanuel students.
All student parking permit applications submitted via Emmanuel College’s Engage Platform will be reviewed by Campus Safety prior to the beginning of each semester. Application deadlines are communicated via campus-wide email. 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, and reduced MBTA parking passes can be purchased from the MBTA.
For questions regarding student semester parking, please email studentparking@emmanuel.edu.
Commuter Students
Parking is available to commuter students living outside of the below-listed zip codes. The student must submit a parking permit application to the Campus Safety Office each academic year for approval during the communicated parking application timeline via the Engage platform. Going into the Spring semester of each year, all commuter students with an approved parking permit during the Fall semester must then also submit a renewal form to renew their permit for the Spring semester. Approval in a previous year does not guarantee receiving another in future academic years. 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. The Student Parking Coordinator reviews applications and notifies applicants prior to the start of classes. Fees for the 2022-23 academic year are $350 per semester.
The College does not issue parking permits to resident students commuting to, or to commuters who live in, the following zip-codes: 02101 - 02145, 02163, 02196 - 02241, 02266, 02283 - 02298, 02445 – 02467.
Please note that a commuter parking permit is not considered an overnight parking pass.
Resident Students
A limited number of parking permits are available to resident students with demonstrated need. The student must submit a parking permit application to the Campus Safety office via the Engage platform each semester for approval. Approval in a previous semester does not guarantee receiving another permit in future semesters. The Student Parking Coordinator reviews applications and notifies applicants prior to the start of classes. Priority consideration is given to students with either approved accommodations via Emmanuel College Disability Support Services or a for-credit academic need (Emmanuel College-facilitated, credit-earning internships/clinicals) outside of commuting proximity via public transportation. Other considerations (off-campus non-credit-earning internships/jobs, family responsibilities, etc.) may be made based on availability. Due to the limited number of permits, and the academic needs for Third and Fourth year students, First and Second year resident students ARE NOT eligible to purchase a resident parking permit. Fees for the 2022-23 academic year are $500 per semester.
For approved credit earning internship/clinical locations falling within the following zip codes, residential students will be expected to take public transportation: 02101 - 02145, 02163, 02196 - 02241, 02266, 02283 - 02298, 02445 – 02467.
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.

Overnight Guest Parking
Emmanuel students can purchase a Temporary Parking Pass for their guests who wish to park on campus between the hours of 5:00 PM and 7:30 AM the following morning. The cost is $15.00. 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 student/visitor 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 advanced of inclement weather, parking may be prohibited.
- Students cannot purchase an overnight guest parking pass for themselves.
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.
Handicapped Parking
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.
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 portal 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.
