Prices for each lot can be found in the \u201c2025\/2026 Parking Rules and Regulations\u201d document below. Students who commute, as well as Faculty and Staff, must purchase a commuter decal, which are valid from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight).

You cannot be placed on a waiting list until ALL of the 24-spots have been sold. Those who do not have a decal, will have to&nbsp;seek out street parking around campus, and will be subject to the laws of the City of Worcester. Please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worcesterma.gov\/parking\">HTTPS:\/\/WWW.WORCESTERMA.GOV\/PARKING<\/a> for more information regarding parking in the city of Worcester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group boxout is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-12dd3699 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-light-yellow-background-color has-background\"><strong><em>Please note:<\/em><\/strong> <strong>SPACES ARE NOT ASSIGNED.<\/strong> You may park in any of the spaces in the lot for which your decal is valid.

Unlike your parking decal, this decal should remain on your vehicle for as long as you attend classes at Clark and will not need to be renewed every year. If you have already received an out-of-state decal from a previous year, It is not necessary to fill out this form again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decals for <strong>accessible\/disability spots<\/strong> may only be purchased at the police station in person, as these cannot be added to the online inventory without proof of a disability placard or plate. Individuals requiring this type of decal shall email <a href=\"mailto:parking@clarku.edu\">parking@clarku.edu<\/a> informing us of your necessity to purchase such a decal, so that it can be held aside upon your arrival to campus. Please be sure to present either a photo of your disability license plate OR the physical placard upon purchase.
