How to Use Card Readers On Parking Gates

You need your Lesley ID card to access the three card-access parking gates on campus. One business day after purchasing a semester parking permit, you will be granted access to the gates via your Lesley ID.

Semester permit holders should move their Lesley ID card around in the space indicated for it to read the chip in the ID card. There are labels on the kiosks indicating where the reader is located.

Lesley employees and students who want to obtain the reduced Lesley rate must present their Lesley ID cards to the Public Safety personnel at the Public Safety desk in University Hall to receive the discount. After receiving the discount, they will need to pay for their ticket at the indoor parking kiosks (located down the hall from the Public Safety desk) using a credit or debit card only.

The reader at the gate entrance is similar to those used for the campus card access doors. Move your ID around in the space for it to read the chip in the ID card.
