Faculty & Staff Parking
Faculty and staff at Boston College who drive vehicles to the University are required to register their vehicles with the Office of Student Services and affix a valid parking permit to their vehicle.
Faculty & Staff Permits
Employee parking permits are limited to current employees on the Boston College payroll system. It is the responsibility of the employee to remember to register his/her vehicle with BC and post the permit in the vehicle windshield for access to the Boston College campus. There is a limit of one permit per employee at any one time.
The employee parking permits are designed to allow flexibility for use on all four-wheeled vehicles registered to this single permit. This movable permit can be peeled and stuck to any clean windshield interior numerous times without being damaged. If the permit should fail to adhere or tear during the course of the year, please return the damaged permit to Student Services for replacement at no cost to you.
Permits will not be granted or renewed if outstanding unpaid campus parking citations are on the individual applicant's record.
