Getting to Campus, Parking and Transit

Parking in Cambridge and Boston is extremely limited. You are encouraged to walk, bike, or use public transportation instead of bringing vehicles to campus.

Parking Applications and Fees

If you do drive, permits are required for parking on Harvard University property. Parking for Summer School students with a valid parking permit is available in the Soldiers Field Garage on a space-available basis. You may apply for a parking permit in person at the Campus Service Center once your classes begin. For details, see the Summer School Parking section of the Campus Service Center website or call (617) 496-7827. 

Shuttle and Van Services

Shuttle Services

Shuttles services are open to all students during the summer term. The shuttles run in the evenings and connect the Yard and Houses with other campus locations. Full shuttle routes and schedules will be posted later this spring.

Daytime Van Services

The daytime van service is designed for Harvard community members who, as a result of physical impairment or a medical condition, find it difficult or impossible to use the regular fully accessible shuttle bus. Students who wish to use the daytime van service should contact the accessibility services office at accessibility@extension.harvard.edu for more information.

Evening Van Services

All students may request the full service evening van. Full schedule and hours will be posted later this spring.
