Football Season
During the football season, all vehicles, including resident (RF or RS) permit vehicles, must be moved off the Chestnut Hill campus by 11:00 pm the evening prior to scheduled home football games. Students with resident permitted vehicles (RF or RS) may park on the Newton Campus for home football games. Vehicles remaining on the Chestnut Hill campus after midnight will be towed at the owner's expense. Parking in the neighborhoods surrounding Boston College will also result in towing.
Parking for the games is by special permit only on BC grounds. Off-site satellite parking is available in Brighton and Needham. See the BC Eagles Web site (www.bceagles.com) for more details on game day parking and transportation.
