2009 / 2010 Parking Information
GENERAL INFORMATION:
COLLEGE PARKING AREAS: Campus parking lots are provided for persons enrolled in classes at Worcester State College, persons conducting official business with the college, and faculty and staff who work at the college.
Parking areas on campus fall into the following categories: faculty, staff, resident, general/commuter, handicapped, or vendor. During hours of operation (8 am – 5 p.m.), some spaces are reserved for use by faculty, staff and visitors. Any reserved sign not indicating a time frame is 24 hours.
HANDICAP PARKING: Motor vehicles displaying a valid handicapped license plate or official placard from the Registry of Motor Vehicles are allowed to park in designated handicapped parking spaces.
PARKING GARAGE: The Worcester State College parking garage is open to residents, commuters and employees with the appropriate decal. The parking garage will open on August 31, 2009, for the 2009/2010 academic year. The garage is open 24-hours a day and is patrolled throughout the day and evening by College Police.
COURTESY: Students are urged to use on-campus parking. Please respect the college's neighbors by parking in the college lots rather than on neighborhood streets. Blocking driveways and access to trash containers on collection day can present problems for our neighbors. It is possible that your vehicle may be towed if you block any of the above.
Those driving and parking on campus should always show consideration for pedestrians who have priority and to be aware that persons with disabilities use the campus.
