Parking Accommodations
Please take the time to read through the entire accommodation process. Incomplete or incorrect applications will lead to delays.
The process for parking accommodations is primarily managed by Student Accessibility Support (SAS) with support from the Brandeis Parking Accommodations Committee. Although decisions are made on an on-going basis, we recommend you begin the application process as soon as possible.
Important Notes
- All students (with or without disability) who have brought cars to campus must follow the guidelines of the Parking Office.
- Regardless of accommodations, all students must obtain a parking permit from the Parking Office. This includes students with DOT disability placards.
- There is limited parking at Brandeis due to the physical layout of the campus. For students with mobility limitations who need transportation to building entrances, Brandeis offers the Accessible Transportation Service (see process above).
- Parking accommodations must be requested each year as there are often changes to campus that factor into accommodation decisions.
Application Process
Expand All
Please complete the entirety of the parking application. Incomplete sections could result in a delay in processing your application.
Please submit documentation from your current medical provider that meets the following criteria:
- Be from a licensed provider who has seen you recently.
- Confirm a diagnosis that you may be eligible for accommodations for.
- Describe the impact of the diagnosis in your daily life.
- Confirm the need for a car on campus.
- Be written in or translated into English.
The provider may make suggestions for consideration for what may be helpful to you at Brandeis given the impacts of the diagnosis.
This documentation can be submitted within this application or can be uploaded through a Secure Documentation Upload Link. If you submit the application without including documentation, a member of Student Accessibility Support (SAS) will follow up with you via email to provide you with the Upload Link.
This documentation will be kept on file within SAS.
If deemed insufficient, the Parking Accommodations Committee may request further documentation or may request that the individual seeking accommodations make an appointment with SAS for further clarification of the diagnosis.
Application is reviewed by the Parking Accommodations Committee (Parking Office, the Health Center, the Brandeis Counseling Center, and Student Accessibility Support). This committee meets regularly throughout the semester so all requests will be processed promptly.
Once the request is reviewed by the Parking Accommodations Committee, you will receive an email with a decision and next steps for you to take.
