Campus Parking

Updated for Fall 2025

T2 Parking Permit System Now Live

Eastern has launched a new digital parking system—T2—to modernize and streamline campus parking. All students, employees, guests, and emeritus personnel must register their vehicles through the T2 Parking Portal.

Register here: https://easternct.t2hosted.com/cmn/auth_ext.aspx
Registration deadline: October 9, 2025

Key Features of the T2 System

  • Digital Permits Only: No more stickers or hangtags—your license plate is your permit.
  • Online Management: Register and manage your vehicle(s) entirely through the T2 portal.
  • Flexible Vehicle Registration: Multiple vehicles can be registered to one permit, but only one vehicle may be parked on campus at a time.
  • Automated Enforcement: Parking compliance is managed via license plate recognition.
  • Real-Time Notifications: Users receive alerts about permit status, expiration, and citations.

Parking Regulations

General Rules

  • First-Year Resident Student Parking
    • Parking for first-year resident students (less than 24 total credits) is limited and will only be considered for students who demonstrate a qualifying need, such as ongoing employment, internship, or a documented medical necessity.
      Students requesting permission to have a vehicle on campus must submit appropriate supporting documentation. Employment-related requests must include a letter from the employer and may require the submission of recent pay stubs for verification purposes throughout the academic year.
    • All supporting documentation must be submitted to parking@easternct.edu. Documentation for the fall semester will only be accepted beginning August 1, and documentation for the spring semester will only be accepted beginning January 1. Documents submitted prior to these dates will not be reviewed.
    • Permit holders are required to promptly report any changes to their employment status or circumstances that formed on the basis for the permit approval. Failure to do so may result in the immediate revocation of parking privileges and the loss of eligibility to park on campus for the remainder of the academic year.
    • Students who accumulate excessive parking fines or repeatedly violate university parking regulations may have their parking privileges revoked immediately.
    • Please note that the submission of documentation or supporting materials does not guarantee approval. All requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, based on available parking capacity, the student's demonstrated need, and university policy.
  • Faculty, staff, commuters, and residents must park only in their designated areas.
  • All parking areas are clearly marked with signage and listed on the Campus Parking Map.
    • First-year residents are permitted to park in Cervantes Garage only.
  • Overnight parking (2 a.m.-6 a.m.) is prohibited in commuter and faculty/staff lots, Monday through Friday.
  • Visitor spaces are for visitors only. Students and employees may not park in designated visitor spots.

Weekend Parking

  • Commuter lots may be used by any permit holder from Friday at 6:45 p.m. through Sunday at 11:30 p.m.
  • Overnight parking rules still apply Sunday night through Friday morning.

Parking Enforcement

  • Violations: $45 per standard violation; $100 for handicap or fire lane violations.
  • Payments: All fines must be paid within thirty (30) days through the T2 Portal.
  • Appeals: You may appeal a citation within ten (10) days via the T2 portal.
