Permit types and pricing

S-GS: Graduate student permits are available to full- or part-time students currently enrolled in any of Boston College's graduate programs or the Boston College Law School.

S-E: Evening student permits are available to students currently enrolled in the Woods College of Advancing Studies or in any of Boston College's graduate programs who are on campus after 3 p.m.

S-C: Commuter undergraduate student permits are available to matriculated Boston College undergraduate students who, during the academic year, live off campus, at a radius greater than one mile from public transportation lines. Students living in the following cities or towns do not meet this commuter distance requirement and will not qualify for a commuter parking permit: Allston, Brighton, Boston, Chestnut Hill and Brookline. Students are expected to use their personal academic-year address, not the address of a family or friend, when applying for a parking permit. Those failing to honestly provide an accurate academic-year address for parking permit application risk disciplinary action, including loss of parking privileges at Boston College and loss of parking permit fee refund. At time of application, an undergraduate commuter student must submit:

1. A parking application (download a PDF version of the application)
2. A copy of a Certificate of Insurance listing the student as an insured driver of the registered vehicle
3. A valid vehicle registration in the undergraduate student's name or that of an immediate family member
4. Proof of qualifying residency in the undergraduate's name, such as a lease, bank statement, or utility bill

S-RF/SR2/SCA/SCA-2: Resident undergraduate student permits are only available to matriculated Boston College undergraduate students who are in their junior or senior year and enrolled in a Boston College sponsored field practicum or three-credit internships that is not accessible by public transportation.

The allotment for these residential parking permits is very limited. Academic and administrative departments must notify, in writing, the Transportation and Parking Office of the quantity and names of undergraduate students who they are approving for inclusion in the residential parking permit allotment.

POOL: Carpool permits are available to graduate and law school students who minimally have a driver plus one passenger sharing the commute to campus throughout the year. A valid registration is required for all members of the carpool.
