Parking on Campus
Parking permits are required for on-campus parking during Reunion. You will receive a permit for your car when you check in at the Alumni House Reception Center. This parking permit will allow for parking in designated areas on the main campus. We ask that alumni park in designated areas only and observe the “No Parking” signs. Any parked vehicles that block traffic will be towed (for safety and accessibility reasons).
Please be aware that absolutely no parking will be permitted on the grass in the Main Quadrangle and that parking on the street of the Main Quad is first come, first served and available only for people with handicapped-parking placards or specific mobility needs. Regular shuttle service will be provided between parking lots and the Main Quad. Ten-minute pick-up and drop-off zones will be available in front of each dorm on the Main Quad, with student workers to help carry luggage to rooms.
All handicapped-parking placards, or photocopies, will be honored by the Amherst College Police. The police cannot issue handicapped-parking placards.
The town of Amherst has designated weekday "Permit Parking Only" areas in the campus vicinity. Your Reunion parking pass only allows you to park in any designated parking space on campus. This parking pass does not apply to any metered or pay-box parking space in the town of Amherst.
On-Campus Shuttle Service
The campus shuttle will run every 15 minutes from the Alumni House Reception Center to the East (formerly Hills), Dickinson (formerly O'Connell) and Tennis Court parking lots and the Main Quadrangle. Please note that this shuttle does not have the capacity to transport large groups between programs.
Shuttle hours will be published in spring 2024.
Alumni with mobility concerns can call the office of Alumni and Constituent Engagement at 413-542-2313 or email reunion@amherst.edu to discuss available services.
