Parking Regulations
Students who operate a motor vehicle on University property are responsible for knowing and observing University traffic and parking regulations contained the the Student Handbook.
Vehicle Registration
Vehicles parked on University property shall be registered with Campus Security, no exceptions. Each vehicle shall have one valid TWU parking permit sticker affixed to the front windshield, with the exception of the Law School students who are residents in the dorms. These students shall have two valid TWU parking permit stickers affixed to the front windshield, one for the main campus and one for the law school. Permits may be obtained at the library circulation desk.
Students who drive rental cars or parent's cars temporarily on campus shall be required to have a temporary parking hangtag. These handtags may be obtained at the library circulation desk or the Facilities office.
Visitor Parking
Visitor parking shall not be used by students before 5:00 pm under any circumstances. The only exception to this rule is for students who are temporarily disabled due to an injury. These students will be allowed to use visitor parking ONLY if they fill out a "Temporary Visitor/Handicap Parking" form and receive a hangtag. The form can be obtained from the Facilities Operations office. Any questions, call (817) 531-4454.
