Parking and Driving

All vehicles parking in University parking lots must be properly registered and insured. Unregistered and/or uninsured vehicles are subject to being towed at the owners expense.

Registering Your Vehicle for a Bentley Parking Permit

Parking decals are issued by University Police and are required in order to park in university parking lots. Each student, faculty, and staff member who operates or parks a motor vehicle or motorcycle on the property of Bentley University must register their vehicle with the University Police and obtain a campus parking permit.

Once you have registered your vehicle online, you can pick up your parking decal at the University Police station at the start of the next Spring or Fall semester. Bring your valid driver's license, valid motor vehicle registration, and Bentley ID card.

Decals must be permanently affixed to the lower passenger side front window (do not block view to your side view mirror). If windows are tinted, apply to inside front windshield in lower corner on driver’s side. Only one decal can be displayed on your vehicle; displaying more than one decal may result in a parking citation. They are not transferable. 

To register your vehicle, log in to the Bentley Community Engagement site and select "Request Parking Permit" in the menu.

Student Parking Fees

The fee for the parking decal is a one-time, non-refundable fee good for the semester. The fee is the same whether you request a decal at the start of the semester or at any other time during a semester and it will not be pro-rated. Once a new parking decal is obtained, students are only required to replace the parking decal if they have a change in residents status or vehicle. The fee will be renewed each semester as long as the student is registered for classes that semester.

The following fees will be assessed for student parking decals:

Resident Students (Undergrad and Grad) - $87.50 per semester

Commuter Day & Evening (Undergrad) - $50.00 per semester

Commuter Grad - $37.50 per semester

All students must have a parking decal or temporary pass at all times on their vehicles. Students that do not purchase a decal or temporary pass cannot park on campus at any time, including the weekends.
