The last day for a 50% refund for parking permits is Tuesday, February 2. Parking permits must be returned along with a refund request form to Parking & Transportation, located in the Roaden University Center at the Information Desk. These must be received by 4:30 p.m. on this day. We can provide a refund request form or you may print one out from our website: https://www.tntech.edu/parking/refund-request.php.
Parking permits are required to park on campus, so they should only be returned if faculty, staff, or students no longer have a need to park on campus.
As the semester gets underway, Parking & Transportation would like to send out a friendly reminder that visitor parking spaces require a visitor permit and should not be utilized by any faculty, staff, or students on campus. This includes timed visitor parking spaces, such as the 2-hour visitor spaces at the Fitness Center. Departments who have visitors coming to campus should obtain a permit for their guest by completing the Visitor Request Form. Visitors may also obtain permits directly from our office, located in the Roaden University Center at the Information Desk. The Visitor Request Form and more information can be found on our website: https://www.tntech.edu/parking/visitor-parking.php
