Reserved Event Parking

Reserved parking for campus events can be requested by UT Tyler faculty and staff via our online event scheduling system, Astra. The University of Texas at Tyler Police Department (UTPD) is the scheduler of this resource and reserves the right to decline/approve requests.

There is a 10-day lead time for requests to reserve blocked parking.
For the first two (2) weeks of each fall and spring semesters, NO blocked parking requests will be approved.
Parking spaces on Tuesdays and Thursdays are extremely limited and may not be approved depending upon the number of spaces requested. Please consider Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.
Blocked parking can be requested Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Requests after 2:00 p.m. and on weekends will not be approved.

How Do I Request Reserved Parking?

Request Approval from UTPD - Approval must be obtained in one of the following ways:
- Option A: When submitting your room request in Astra, complete the event form and answer the parking needs questions.
- Option B: If your event is already scheduled in Astra, log in and submit the online Parking Request Form.
Clone Placement - If approved, UTPD will place cones by 8:00 a.m. on the day of your event. You are responsible for having someone on-site to remove the cones for your attendees.
VIP Parking Pass - Ensure your VIP guests receive a temporary parking pass obtained through the Parking Permit Portal to avoid receiving a ticket.

Alumni House Parking

A maximum of 14 parking spaces can be reserved for Alumni House events occurring Monday - Thursday from 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Bus Parking

Buses are encouraged to park off campus whenever possible. If on-campus parking is needed, log into Astra and use the parking Request form, requesting "Parking - Bus" instead of a specific lot. UTPD will assign a location or contact you if there are any concerns.

Evening, Weekend or Summer Event Parking

It is not necessary to reserve parking through Astra for evening, weekend, or summer events. However, to avoid receiving a ticket, please ensure that all guests have a valid parking pass, which can be obtained through the Parking Permit Portal.

50+ Parking Spaces

UTPD will determine the number of parking spaces that can be reserved in each lot for any given date. If more than 50 spaces are needed, please contact them directly at 903.566.7300.
