Parking
- Outdoor lots are available at the
campus. There are signs on campus to direct
you to available parking. However, be advised that campus parking is
filled to capacity daily, usually between 9:30 a.m. - noon (and occasionally
at other times) and if you arrive during this time, you may have to
park in an Auxiliary lot which means it will take you longer to get
to your class.
- Auxiliary lots (located approximately up to a half
mile from the campus) are available for use when campus lots are filled
to capacity and are located at the McCormack School, St. Christopher's
Church and the Bayside Expo Center - all are on Mt. Vernon Street, behind
the campus. Shuttle bus service connects these lots with the campus,
and with the MBTA Red Line's JFK/UMass Station. Buses run every 10 minutes
or so while classes are in session.
- Parking is currently $6 per day. Special rate, longer-term
parking passes are available from the Campus Bookstore (617.287.5090)
or the Office
of Parking & Transportation (617.287.5040).
- Carpooling is encouraged, along with use of public
transportation. Call 617.287.5043 for information.
