Parking Policy
All vehicles parked on campus must be registered with a valid virtual parking permit. Students enrolled in non-credit courses will typically be issued a virtual permit for the duration of their course.
Since Tennessee Tech utilizes License Plate Recognition (LPR), it is vital that your vehicle is parked with the license plate facing the drive aisle so it can be scanned by parking enforcement. Non-credit students should park only in their assigned zones (typically Perimeter/Purple lots) and must adhere to all Tennessee Tech Parking and Traffic Regulations.
Virtual permits are enforced Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; however, Reserved, Accessible, and Visitor spaces are enforced 24/7. For specific permit instructions or to view the campus parking map, please visit the Tennessee Tech Parking website.
Inclement Weather
Tennessee Tech University offices will remain open during periods of inclement weather, even if classes are canceled. In the event that classes are held during inclement weather, students are responsible for any academic work missed.
It is the student’s responsibility to take the initiative to make up missed assignments, and it is the faculty member’s responsibility to provide students with a reasonable opportunity to do so. Please check the university website for the most current information regarding cancellations or weather-related updates.
