Accessible Parking

Eligibility

Simmons College is committed to providing support services and reasonable accommodations to students and employees with identified disabilities. Simmons will rely on the student or employee's home state disability placard or plate to assess need. For information on Massachusetts disability placards, please visit the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles website.  Please be aware that state issuance of disability placards can take up to 3 months and note that we are unable to accept other types of documentation such as a physician's note.

Temporary Disability Parking

Since Simmons requires state disability placards or plates to identify students and employees with disabilities, students and employees who desire temporary disability parking on campus must apply for a temporary disability placard from their state registry of motor vehicles to qualify for on-campus parking.

Purchasing Parking

To apply for parking, please bring your state-issued disability placard to the Parking Office. Please note that we are unable to accept other types of documentation such as a physician's note.

Student Parking: Students must also meet the following requirements:

  1. Must be registered for classes - registration may be confirmed by logging into AARC or calling the Registrar at 617-521-2100.
  2. Must be cleared by Student Financial Services - a semester tuition bill is considered cleared if the tuition has been paid in full or if financial aid covers all costs. To confirm that you are cleared, please call Student Financial Services at 617-521-2001.

Student Weekly Parking for Disability Placard Holders

  • Full-Time Student Permit: $300/semester
  • Part-Time Day of the Week Student Permit (per semester):

Employees who are already eligible to apply for parking do not need to bring their disability placard to our office and may follow application procedures listed on the employee pages. Employees who do not otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of a full-time, part-time, or contractor employee, but have a state disability placard, may apply for parking in the Parking Office.
