  • Visitor Parking

    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
