A visitor, contractor or vendor to the campus is defined as a person who is not affiliated with the University as a staff/faculty or student and who operates or parks a vehicle on campus.
See the official regulations on visitors.Visitors now have multiple options for parking on campus:
- Visitors, contractors, and vendors can purchase a pass from the Administrative Services office during regular business hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, or from Tufts University Department of Public Safety after hours. These passes are available for $5.00/day and can be pre-purchased given the license plate number of the visiting vehicle is known.
- These passes allow these persons to park in any lot that requires a decal or pass. Please note, however, that while visitors may park in Staff and Commuter lots, there is no parking in these lots between 1 AM and 8 AM. Visitors requiring overnight parking must do so in the Green Residential Parking Areas.
- Visitors to the Tufts University Campus may also park in the Campus Parking Garage located in Dowling Hall, 419 Boston Avenue in Medford.
- Visitors may park in the garage for the day for a nominal fee of $5.00.
- Visitors must purchase a token to exit the garage from token vending machines located on floors 3, 5, and 7 of Dowling Hall or at the Administrative Services Office during regular business hours.
- Overnight parking in the Dowling Garage is strictly prohibited.
- Visitors may enter the garage either from the Boston Avenue entrance, or from an entrance located on Upper Campus Road.
