Parking Permits

Employee parking permits are issued at the start of each academic year. Student and Adjunct Faculty permits are issued each semester. A limited number of temporary or semester permits will be issued. Parking permits are granted by the University on the express condition that the University is not responsible for any damage that occurs to a vehicle while parked on Lesley property. The online service allows faculty, staff and students to register for and purchase their parking permits quickly and conveniently.

Once a permit application has been approved, a hanging tag will be issued designating the type of parking (12-month day, 9-month day, semester day, adjunct, or student) and the parking location. Only FAS permit holders are guaranteed parking. Permit holders will only be entitled to park in the lot designated on their permit.

Faculty and Staff Parking

Annual Permits

Only benefit eligible employees and faculty qualify for Employee ("FAS") Day Permits. Permits may be purchased for 12 months, 9 months, or a semester.

• 12 month permits are good for the entire year and must be renewed annually.
• 9 month permits are good from September to May and must be renewed annually. Only 9 and 10 month faculty may purchase 9 month permits.

Parking permits will be assigned based on a space-available basis or consideration of two variables: seniority as defined by rank for faculty and classification level for staff, and length of service at the University.

The first group will include all benefit eligible administrators and staff with a pay grade of 26 or above and all faculty with a rank of Professor or Associate Professor. These employees and departmental use holders will receive top priority for day parking. Remaining day permits will be issued first to all remaining benefit eligible faculty requesting parking based on length of service, and then administrators and staff based on length of service. If a wait-list is necessary it will be maintained based on length of service at Lesley (not time on the wait-list). Full-time employees, who are also part-time faculty, may park in the Adjunct parking area while they are teaching. Full-time employees may not park in the Adjunct faculty area on a daily basis.

You are encouraged to pay through payroll deduction. By selecting payroll deduction the payments will automatically be deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis. By taking advantage of this benefit, many employees may save as much as $10 per month. If you chose to pay by credit card, (Visa, MasterCard or Discover Card), the full amount of the semester permit will be charged at the time of the transaction. All transactions are encrypted and secure and applicant information is kept strictly confidential.

Employees who have an assigned parking space on campus and carpool are eligible to receive a 20% discount off the cost of their yearly permit. Contact the Public Safety Office for details.
