Parking information
Students taking classes at the Charles River campus may purchase a white student evening/weekend parking pass for $70 per semester. The pass is valid in the evening after 4 p.m. on weeknights and all day Saturdays and Sundays in most lots. A copy of your registration and/or confirmation letter will be required to purchase the pass. Parking Services will include a brochure about parking on the BU campus with the pass. It is the student's responsibility to be familiar with the contents of the brochure. Students should make note of the expiration date of the permit, as it may be before the end of the course. For more information about Parking Services go to www.bu.edu/parking. To download a parking permit go to: http://www.bu.edu/parking/files/2009/07/application_white_student_0910.pdf (Note: CPE students must submit a hardcopy of the parking permit. On-line requests are currently unavailable.)
