YOU PICKED A MAJOR, NOW PICK YOUR PARKING ZONE
Parking on campus and in the surrounding neighborhoods is extremely limited and parking regulations are strictly enforced. A valid University of Tennessee parking permit is required to park in all UT parking areas 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We recommend that, if possible, students leave their cars at home and utilize free transportation via the T and KAT buses.
Student Parking Updates for 2024
- Commuter and non-commuter (residential) students will be able to buy parking permits for specific “zoned” lots under a tiered pricing structure.
- Zones in the core of campus are more expensive than intermediate and remote lots.
- During regular school hours, permits are only valid in their particular zones. After 5:00 pm, all student permits are valid in any commuter or staff lot through 3:00 am.
- All commuting students will have the option to purchase a Park & Ride Permit at a discounted rate of $99.
- Student access to parking zones is prioritized by credit hours earned with priority given to upper-level students.
- Most first-year students will only have the option to purchase remote parking.
- First-year students living on campus (non-commuters) are encouraged not to bring a car to campus, if possible.
Students are encouraged to park once and Ride the T Bus to their final destination. Visit parking.utk.edu/transit for information regarding free T bus routes and the hours of operation.
