All parking lots at UMass Lowell require a current decal on every vehicle or virtual permit tied to your license plate when parked before 3:30 p.m. Vehicles without a current decal or virtual permit are subject to be ticketed.

Most lots, with the exception of residential lots, open at 3:30 p.m. Students are welcome to park in any lot after this time, but may not park in designated parking (i.e. Service Vehicles, Designated Parking, Cabinet Member, Department Chair, etc), and must park in legally marked spaces. DO NOT attempt to park in a lot if you do not have the privileges listed below. Even if the gate is open before 3:30 p.m. you will be subject to be ticketed.

Campus maps are available for download. You can also get directions to campus using our interactive maps.
