Medical Parking Requests
Merrimack evaluates requests for medical parking accommodations on a case-by-case basis.
Process for Requesting Medical Parking
The process for requesting medical parking is being updated and will be added to the website later in the Spring semester. The deadline for medical parking will be during the summer of 2026.
Additional Information
I think I might need to park in the handicap spaces identified on campus; what do I need to know?
The college parking areas include designated and regulated handicap parking spaces, Merrimack does not determine the usage of these spaces. Rather, students on campus who have been pre-determined by their state and have an HP placard on display are permitted to park in these spaces.
To learn how to obtain a HC plate or temporary placard, please contact the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles or visit the nearby Registry located 5 minutes from campus (down Route 114 in Lawrence, MA). If you already have an HP placard, please be sure to register your car with the Parking Office. For more information, please visit: https://www.mass.gov/doc/application-for-disabled-parking/download
I don’t have a medical need personally, but can I be considered for a parking permit for a special circumstance?
Reasonable Medical Parking Accommodations are available for students with medical needs only; however, if you have a special circumstance (i.e., family member with a medical need) please speak with the Parking Office regarding your need.
