Visitor Parking Information for Students

boston college transportation and parking services

Due to space limitations, Boston College does not have parking available to provide for visitors of students during the week. 

Visitors are defined as anyone who is NOT a full or part time student, faculty or staff member.   Undergraduate students living on campus or within one mile of public transportation and resident students are not eligible for permits and are not eligible to park as visitors on campus.

Transportation and Parking recommends using our website to look at parking areas nearby that are safe and secure.  Rates and distance from campus vary, but we encourage you to utilize them and not park on city streets in the interest of being a good neighbor.

Weekend Visitor Parking:

Parking for visitors on weekends is available in the Commonwealth Garage above level 3 only from Friday at 5pm until Monday at 2am.  Vehicles parked in any other location on campus or without a permit after this will be ticketed and possibly towed.  Should your car still be in the garage after 2am, you will also be responsible for paying the flat lost ticket rate of $20 to retrieve it.

After 11pm on the Friday before a home football game, no vehicles are allowed to park on campus to accommodate the thousands of fans who will arrive the next day to cheer on the BC Eagles. 

We again refer you to our website for local garage information to park your car. 

Below are links to ways back and forth from campus.  Veteran’s Taxi takes Eagle Bucks.
