Who needs to register a vehicle? Any student, faculty member, or staff member who operates or parks a motor vehicle or motorcycle on the property of Olin College must obtain a permanent parking permit within 24 hours of bringing the vehicle to campus. Guests must register by calling Campus Services at x2313, emailing Campus Services , or calling Public Safety at 781-239-5555. Can my request to have a motor vehicle on campus be denied or revoked? A driver's request to maintain or operate a motor vehicle at Olin College can be denied or revoked at any time. The opportunity to have a motor vehicle on campus is a privilege, not a right provided by the College. If a person is denied the privilege of having a motor vehicle on campus and the vehicle is found being operated or parked on the Olin campus, the vehicle will be towed at the owner's expense. Disobeying a revocation order may result in disciplinary action. Permits are available online by clicking the link to the left.

Faculty and staff may register up to two (2) cars with permanent parking permits. Students are limited to one (1) vehicle, unless approved by Campus Services. How much does it cost for a permit? Currently, permits are issued without a fee.

At various times, community members may need to park in close proximity to their residence or office to load or unload personal belongings. At such times, the vehicle operator should park so as not to block any building entrances, handicapped access, or fire lanes. The vehicle hazard lights should also be activated. Vehicles parked in excess of 15 minutes are subject to ticketing and towing. Please contact the Campus Services Office at (781)-292-2313 or the Public Safety dispatcher at (781)-239-5555 should you need access to gated areas. At no time are motor vehicles allowed into the Oval. Are there any places on the campus I can't drive? The college has designated the following areas as designated Pedestrian Malls. All but emergency vehicles are banned from these areas.
Permission to operate a motor vehicle on the grounds owned, operated or controlled by Olin College is a discretionary privilege of the College. Such privilege may be denied, revoked, suspended or modified by the action of the Trustees or by Officers of the College authorized to take such action. Where do I park if there is a snow storm? When the College has closed due to snow or reports of snow emergencies, all motor vehicles must be moved from all Faculty, Staff and student parking areas within one (1) hour of the official closing of school. Members of the community who are leaving a vehicle on campus, must park in the designated Snow Emergency parking area, Lot A-3 (A Lot 3rd row) and Lot A-4 (A Lot 4th row) before they leave campus. Resident Student permits or authorized overnight permits should park their motor vehicles in their appropriate parking area. When the snow has ceased, it is the responsibility of each person to move their vehicles to a cleared area of Parking Lot A. The Facilities Services group will clear the Designated Snow Emergency Lots within 24 hours after the storm has stopped. Community members can return to their assigned lots once the area has been cleared. All vehicles not moved will be towed at the owner's expense.
