Any student with less than 30 units is considered a freshman and subject to certain parking restrictions. Freshman resident students are not permitted to purchase a permit or have a vehicle on campus. Limited exceptions with documentation may be granted. Freshman commuter students may only purchase Overflow or Evening permits.

Faculty, Staff and Students

Faculty, staff and students have several permit options. Select Student Parking or Faculty & Staff Parking and follow the easy steps to buy a permit. You will need your TU NetID and password to login to your eParking account. After purchasing your permit, carefully read the permit purchase letter you will receive via email. It will provide specific information regarding your permit type and other important details.

Visitor Parking

Visitor permits can be purchased at yellow paystations or by downloading the ParkMobile app from the App Store or Google Play. Paystations are located in all garages and parking lots on campus.

We have transitioned the campus to a pay by plate system for virtual visitor permits that is verified by a license plate. The new system went live during the Spring, 2018 term.

Effective, July 1, 2019, ParkMobile Reservations is the new method to reserve parking for department guests who are issued codes. Department guests will no longer have to go to the paystation to enter a code. It is all done online through the department. See the Visitors, Department Guests & Vendors page for more information.

SmartWay Elite Visitor permits will also be purchased from the ParkMobile Reservations site. Those who drive SmartWay Elite cars wanting to purchase a discounted permit will use the access code: 28586001. This code will not be available for use until August 19, 2019.
