Parking Permits

If you are an employee or student, purchase a Lesley parking permit in order to park on campus via the Permit Store. You'll be asked for your vehicle make, year, license number, permit type, and payment information.

Parking permits are granted on the condition that the university is not responsible for any damage that occurs to a vehicle while parked on Lesley property. Please note that purchasing a permit does not guarantee a parking spot.

The virtual pass will be in the parking system, and if the correct vehicle information is in our system, then the permit will be tied to that vehicle.

Fall semester permit valid dates: August 27 - December 31
