Parking and Enforcement FAQ
When is parking enforced?
Parking enforcement is in effect when classes are in session, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Visitor, Accessible, and Reserved spaces are enforced at all times. Additionally, the Green and Teal Lots are enforced 24/7 during the fall and spring semesters.
Who needs a parking permit? How do I get one?
All vehicles parked on campus require a parking permit. For details on how to obtain your permit, visit the the appropriate webpage for students, employees, or visitors. If you are a contracted employee (HES, Chartwells, etc.) please contact the Parking & Transportation Office for permit information.
I have received a parking ticket. Can I appeal it? Where do I pay it?
You can pay university citations at Derryberry Hall at the cashier’s window on the first floor, or via your Eagle Online account. To appeal a ticket, visit the citation appeals page for guidelines. Remember, you only have 15 business days from the citation appeal date to file an appeal.
If I am unhappy with the appeal committee's decision about my citations or I have questions, who do I contact?
Upon appeal decision, you'll receive an email with the results letter. You have 5 days from this date to contest any appeals. For contesting an appeal, email parking@tntech.edu. Student appeals are reviewed by the Vice President of Student Affairs while Non-Student Citations appeals are reviewed by the Vice President of Planning & Finance. Visit our citation appeals page for more information.
What if my parking permit is lost or stolen?
Notify the Parking & Transportation Office immediately if your permit is lost or stolen. We'll deactivate this in the system and will issue you a new permit free of charge.
Where do I go to get a visitor's parking permit?
Visitors can obtain a Virtual Visitor Parking Permit by scanning the QR codes on Visitor Parking Space Signs.
