The university offers several designated and preferred parking options across campus for faculty and staff. These options include Cabinet Members across campus, University Crossing (Salem Lot and GPS (Merrimack Lot) on East, and the East Courtyard and Tremont Lot at Wannalancit Business Center.

Apply for Designated/Preferred Parking

Designated and Preferred parking spaces are non-transferable even in your absence from the University. They are solely for your usage and cannot be "loaned."

Please note that all if the number of requests exceed capacity, applicants may be placed on a waitlist. Do not order a preferred decal on the MyParking portal until approved by UCAPS.

Cabinet Members

There is a limited number of reserved and numbered spaces available for Cabinet Members (as identified by Campus Leadership) across campus. These Cabinet Members will have an option to choose a reserved and numbered parking space in the lot of their choice (excluding residential lots).

Each year, Cabinet Members will be contacted regarding their desire to purchase a reserved Cabinet Member space. Once you have been confirmed, you may order your decal online.
