FREE: Main Campus Parking Options

Parking passes are available for law students who have an occasional need for services on the main campus such as the following:

• The Counseling Center;
• Disability Resources for Students;
• The Student Health Center;
• Tiger Copy & Graphics;
• The Bookstore;
• The Bursar’s Office;
• The Financial Aid Office;
• IT;
• Testing Center;
• Student government meetings (for our law school representatives);
• Educational Help & Tutoring; and
• Libraries.

These parking solutions are not available for students with other regular business on the main campus (such as students regularly visiting the rec center, playing intramural sports, or joint/dual-degree students).  These students should make other parking arrangements (information is available here), as Options 1 and 2 are meant for students who have only an occasional need to go to the main campus for student services.

Effective immediately, if you are utilizing the above services, you will have three options for free parking on the main campus:

1.   Single-Use Passes for the Zach Curlin Garage

The law school has purchased a limited number of single-use parking passes.  Students can stop by the Deans’ suite and request a single-use parking pass from Janette Smith.  Students will be required to indicate a broad category of utilization so we will be able to track what services students are accessing with the parking passes.  These passes are good for a single visit to the Zach Curlin garage.

2.    University Hang Tags

The Law School has also purchased five (5) University of Memphis parking hang tags.  These hang tags are meant for our students to share.  They will provide access to general parking lots on the main campus.  These lots are designated in yellow on this parking map.   The hang tags can be checked out from Janette Smith in the Deans’ Suite according to the process set forth below.  As with the single-use passes, students will be required to indicate a broad category of utilization so we will be able to track what services students are accessing with the parking passes.

3.   Confidential Counseling Center Single-Use Passes

Students using the Counseling Center should not use Option 1 or 2 listed above but should instead use the single-use passes that are available upon request from the University Counseling Center.   Students wishing to utilize these Counseling Center passes should park in Zach Curlin garage.  You can request a single-use pass at the end of your counseling appointment.   The single-use pass will enable you to exit the Curlin garage without charge.  Students can request as many single-use passes as needed for counseling services.

Hang tags check-out procedure:

1.    Location of Passes

Passes can be checked out during law school business hours from Abby Gardner in the Deans’ Suite.   Students will be required to indicate a broad category of utilization so we will be able to track what services students are accessing with the parking passes.

2.    Time of Check-Out

Each pass is available to be checked out for two business days.  Passes must be checked in and re-checked out after two business days.   Students checking out a parking pass on Thursday have until Monday to return the parking pass.

3.    Late & Lost Pass Fees

The University will not replace any hang tags that are lost or missing.  Therefore, any tags that are lost or not returned will be unavailable for any students to use for the remainder of the semester.  As a result, students who lose a parking pass or who are late returning a parking pass will lose parking privileges and will not be allowed to check out another hang tag or to receive another single-use pass from the Deans’ suite unless they first reimburse the law school for the cost of the lost pass.

By checking out a parking pass or requesting a single-use pass, you are certifying that you are only using the parking pass for the accepted uses set forth in this announcement.   Students who abuse the parking pass usage policy may have their parking pass check-out privileges revoked.

Please contact Dean Aden if you have any questions about the parking passes.
