Resident Students

Resident overnight parking is reserved for third- and fourth-year undergraduate students who live on campus and have been chosen through our annual student parking lottery, which takes place each spring for the upcoming academic year.

Parking Lots Available

The following parking lots are available to resident students with annual and semester long parking permits obtained through the Parking Lottery (please see below). 

Students assigned parking through the Parking Lottery will be given access to the following parking lots:

• Mal Brown/Cunningham Lot (Card Access Only)
• Annie Street/Schneider Lot (Card Access Only)
• Shanley Hall Lot (Card Access Only)
• Hunt-Cavanagh Lot 

If you have a parking permit and are unable to access the card access lots listed above, please contact the Office of Transportation & Parking.

Student Lottery

Providence College conducts a parking lottery instead of a first-come, first-served system to ensure that all rising third- and fourth-year undergraduates have an equal and fair opportunity to secure parking. 

Permits are non-transferrable. If a student who was approved to have a permit no longer requires it, the permit will be offered to the next student in the lottery “line.”

The next Student Lottery will take place May 6, 2025 at 9:00 am through July 4, 2025 at 11:00 pm for the 2025-2026 Academic Year using the Parking Lottery Form. Rising third- and fourth-year students will be notified as the Lottery approaches through morning mail.

Cost:

• $400.00 per Academic Year
• $200.00 per Semester

Students who receive a parking permit through the Student Lottery may pay for their parking permit here. Cash and checks are not accepted as a form of payment for parking permits.

Parking Permit Sticker Placement

Stickers must be placed on the lower left side of the driver’s side windshield. If your sticker is damaged or needs to be replaced for a new vehicle, please bring the damaged/removed sticker to the Office of Transportation & Parking to obtain a new sticker.
