Employee Parking Accommodation Policy

Employees who require parking accommodation must submit a request for accommodation in writing to the Director of Human Resources, Room 306 of Dwight Hall.  The request must be supported by medical documentation and the documentation must indicate the length of time that the accommodation will be needed.  Medical documentation must be submitted on letterhead from a hospital/medical practice and must be signed by a physician/medical practitioner.    

Employees who require short-term parking accommodation (i.e., less than one semester in duration) whose accommodation has been approved by the Director of Human Resources will be issued a temporary dash pass by Campus Police.

Employees who require longer-term parking accommodation (i.e., generally not longer than one semester in duration) whose accommodation has been approved by the Director of Human Resources will be issued a temporary parking decal by Campus Police.  The temporary parking decal is valid for one semester only but will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be extended if the request for accommodation is re-submitted along with updated medical documentation substantiating the continued need for accommodation.  Parking decals for this longer-term parking accommodation will not be approved for longer than one academic year.

Employees needing parking accommodation for longer than one semester are advised to apply for a handicapped placard or license plate.  Ample handicapped parking is available on campus.  Employees who provide proof that an application has been filed with the RMV and is pending will be issued a temporary dash pass from Campus Police.  For more information regarding handicapped placards/plates, please visit the Registry of Motor Vehicles website at www.mass.gov/rmv.
