How Do I Request Reserved Parking?

  • To request spaces to be coned off for event VIPs, approval needs to be given by UT Tyler Parking Department. If approved, they will place cones out prior to 8:00 a.m. the day of your event. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure someone is in the parking lot to remove the cones..
  • Complete the appropriate event request form in Astra answering all questions pertaining to your parking needs.
  • For an event already scheduled in Astra, Log into Astra and use the Parking request form.

Alumni House Parking?
