IMPORTANT
INFORMATION FOR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS
-
- The motor
vehicle laws of Massachusetts require anyone residing in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts to register their vehicle in Massachusetts. However,
non-resident students (i.e., students who live in another state
but are attending school in Massachusetts, commute from another
state to attend school, or have a temporary residence in Massachusetts
while they attend school here)) are exempt from this rule if they
complete a non-resident student information form and display a
Commonwealth of Massachusetts non-resident decal on their vehicle.
-
- You must
complete these forms and obtain a new decal each year. Failure
to obtain a decal may result in a $100 fine from the Commonwealth
if you fail to comply.
-
-
- Note that
you must have insurance on your vehicle at least matching Massachusetts'
minimum insurance levels which are $20,000/$40,000 for bodily
injury and $5,000 for property damage. Many insurance policies
have these minimums covered; you may want to check your policy
prior to registering.

- **It
is important to complete this Non-Resident Student Information
Form online and print
it out, providing four originally-signed copies and sending/bringing
them into the Public Safety Office.
Please notice
that this applies to residential and day students alike. Even students
commuting from nearby states must complete these forms.
Decals will
not be issued until all forms are submitted.
If you are registering
a vehicle on campus for less than 30 days (i.e., you obtain a temporary
pass) you do not complete this form.
Insurance
Coverage
**NOTE: Massachusetts
has reciprocal agreements with other states to allow residents of
other states to operate in Massachusetts. However, some states do
not require insurance for driving within their state. If you live
in such as state, you still must have the required level of insurance
to operate in Massachusetts.
