Planning your visit

Please bookmark this page and check it often for updates. As you begin to plan your visit, here are times of activities to keep in mind. Locations of activities are subject to change, so be sure to refer to this page for more information.

• Registration

  Registration is now open! Register for Alumnae/i, Family & Friends Weekend.

• Parking and Public Transportation

  Parking on the Lesley campus is very limited, so public transportation is highly encouraged. The Harvard Square T-stop on the MBTA Red Line is closest to South Campus and First Church.

  Public parking is also available nearby in Harvard Square. Harvard Square Parking Garage, 20 Eliot Street, is the closest. 

  You may drop off guests at South Campus prior to parking. The drop-off location is at the intersection of 5 Phillips Place and St. John’s Road.  

  Parking in Harvard Square at 52 Oxford Street Garage

  Guests will be able to purchase a parking permit for this event from the Harvard Online Parking Permit System. The fee is $20 per vehicle.

  The permit must be printed and presented to the Parking Services Monitor to receive an access card. The Permit will then need to be displayed on the dashboard of your vehicle while you park in the 52 Oxford Street Garage.     

  Purchase a parking permit from the Harvard Online Parking Permit System.
