Parking

Assumption University students, faculty, and staff who park on campus must have a valid Assumption University parking decal properly displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the windshield. Vehicles must be registered each year through the University’s online parking permit request form.

Visitors will find reserved spaces at the University, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Getting Your Parking Permit

Step 1. Complete the online Parking Permit Request Form. Paper applications are no longer required.

Step 2. For students, the permit fee will be added to your student account — no separate payment is required at the time of request. There is no fee for faculty and staff permits.

Step 3. You will receive an email when your parking permit is ready for pick-up. Once you receive that email, pick up your decal at the IT Helpdesk, located in Room 130 on the first floor of the IT Building, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please bring your Assumption University ID or a valid driver’s license.

Parking Management System

FACULTY, STAFF AND GRADUATE STUDENTS

• Faculty, Staff, and Graduate Students will be assigned to RED parking lots.
• Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students shall be issued RED parking permits.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

• All Student parking lots are available for any undergraduate student, regardless of their status as a resident or commuter, or their class year.
• Student parking lots are all first come/first serve.
• Students will be issued BLUE parking permits. A blue decal allows parking in any lot on campus except the red Faculty/Staff lots.

Parking on campus roadways is prohibited unless the roadway is specifically marked as an authorized parking spot. All roadways without markings shall be considered FIRE LANES, and parking is prohibited between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Designated Handicap parking shall only be used by a vehicle displaying a properly issued Handicap Parking Placard issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or a Temporary Disability Permit issued by Assumption Campus Police.

Helpful Tips

• Visitor parking is reserved Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• All roads are considered fire lanes and must be kept open for emergencies.
• All vehicles must be parked entirely within lined spaces. An improperly parked vehicle in an adjacent space does not constitute an excuse for straddling the painted line.
• White lines in diagonal hash patterns indicate NO PARKING areas.
• Blocking access to buildings, stairs, walkways, loading zones, or fire lanes is not allowed.
• Parking is not allowed on grass or sidewalks.
• Any vehicle parked within 10 feet of a fire hydrant, obstructing a fire lane, or obstructing snow removal is subject to citation and the vehicle may be immediately towed off campus at the owner’s expense.
• Any vehicle abandoned, banned from campus, obstructing the free passage of vehicular traffic on any campus roadway or parking lot, or parked in delivery zones is subject to citation and the vehicle may be immediately towed off campus at the owner’s expense.

Parking Violations

The responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests on the vehicle’s operator/person with the parking permit. Lack of space, mechanical problems, and inclement weather are not considered valid excuses for violation of parking regulations. Violation of parking regulations is subject to a citation. Possession or use of a lost, stolen, forged or altered parking permit or temporary permit will result in a fine equal to the value of the permit.
