Parking

Campus Center Garage Goes Gateless

Parking Services introduced a gateless and ticketless entry and exit system at the Campus Center Garage on August 12. Similar to parking at other visitor lots on campus, garage users will now pay after they have parked and before going to their destination using the ParkMobile app on their mobile device or at the garage’s newly updated pay stations. Both payment options provide users the added benefit of being able to extend their time remotely without returning to their vehicle.

Our People Are Here for Good!

“UMass Amherst is more than just a workplace to me; it's been an integral part of my life's journey. From completing both my undergraduate and graduate studies in computer science to transitioning into a career at the university, UMass has played a vital role after moving from Japan to the U.S. as an adult. Without UMass, I wouldn't be the person I am today, and for that, I'm forever grateful. UMass is more than just a workplace; it's a part of my life.”

Assistant Director, Software Engineering
