    Please register your vehicle within 3 days of arrival to avoid paying tickets for “unauthorized” parking or for failure to register. To obtain a parking permit, visit Campus Safety to pre-approve you for a permit category. You will be given an instruction page along with a campus map. The instructions will direct you to www.thepermitstore.com. When it asks for the parking destination, enter "Southern".

    Who needs to register, and when:

    Visitors are encouraged to stop by the Campus Safety office to get a free temporary parking pass.  Frequent visitors can be issued a free yearly parking pass.

     

    Contact the Campus Safety office at 423-236-2100 if you have any questions or problems. We are happy to assist you with vehicle registration and show you which lots you are approved to park in. The vehicle registration fee, found in the catalog, is charged to your Southern account.


    University employees receive parking permits at no charge. Each residence hall has its own “private” parking areas. Commuter students may choose from several lots reserved for their use. For more details on parking lots and general requirements for vehicle operations, refer to the Vehicle & Traffic Regulations, Parking Map, Vehicle Parking.
