Parking and Access
Parking Services
Any motor vehicle parked on University property, other than in paid meter spaces must display a valid University of Tennessee parking permit. The type of permit indicates the areas where the vehicle may be parked. Use of a motor vehicle on University of Tennessee property is a privilege, not a right, and is made available only under the policies established in the University Rules and Parking Regulations currently in effect.
Parking Announcements and Improvements
Parking Services announces two initiatives to improve and enhance campus parking. Additional changes will be coming in the near future, and we will keep you informed as project scheduling is defined.
Beginning Monday, March 5th, Parking Lot A (between the Hyman and Johnson Buildings) will be CLOSED for construction. Please contact Daniel Koppen for assistance at dkoppen@uthsc.edu if you require guest parking prior to any meetings or special events.
Campus Police and Parking Services will be activating two multi space parking meters. The devices will serve as the pay station for “V” Lot, and Street Spaces on the west side of the Student Alumni Center. Customers will pay for parking at the meter and place the receipt on their dash.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of May.
