Requirements
Parking Spaces
Enforcement of parking rules and regulations is critical to both vehicular and pedestrian safety and to ensure that the beauty of the college grounds is preserved. Campus Safety and Facilities Management requests that all members of the community comply with the spirit and the letter of the regulations at all times. All parking is color-coded and applies to vehicles with current Smith College parking decals or passes. White lines apply to faculty and staff vehicles. Green lines apply to student vehicles. Orange lines apply to service vehicles and blue lines for visitors. All vehicles must display appropriate current decals or passes.
Parking in green-lined spaces is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Individual spaces are not reserved for each decal. Students whose vehicles are properly registered may park in designated student lots only 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no exceptions. The same rules are in effect during the break period, holidays, January and summer term.
Students may not park in the Quad at any time.
Parking Registration
There are 226 green-lined spaces allocated to student parking each year. Students eligible for a Smith College parking permit decal may register a vehicle and purchase a Full Year or Semester decal online.
