Parking on Campus

Faculty, Staff and Students (eParking)

There are several permit options for faculty, staff and students with 30 credit units or more. 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.

Freshman Students

Any student with less than 30 units is considered a freshman. Freshman commuter students may purchase Overflow or Evening parking permits. Freshman resident students are not permitted to purchase a permit or have a vehicle on campus.  

Visitor Parking

Visitor permits can be purchased through the ParkMobile app or at yellow paystations located in all campus garages and parking lots. TU uses a pay-by-plate system for virtual visitor permits that are verified by license plate.

ParkMobile Reservations is TU's parking reservation system for department guests who are issued guest codes. Department guests no longer have to go to the paystation to enter a code. Reservations are made online through the department. Get more information on Visitors, Department Guests & Vendors parking.

SmartWay Elite Visitor permits can be purchased through the ParkMobile Reservations site. If you drive a SmartWay Elite vehicle, purchase a daily discounted permit by using the access code 28586001.

All vehicles parked on TU's campus must have a valid permit during enforcement hours, which are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays.

If you have been issued a parking citation, you must either pay the citation within 30 days from the date of issue or appeal the citation within 25 days from the date of issue.

Commercial and Residential Areas
