Blocked parking spaces requested by UT Tyler faculty and staff via Astra at least 10 days prior to the event

Scheduling & Conference Services

Reserved parking for your campus event can be requested by UT Tyler faculty and staff via our online event scheduling system, Astra. The University of Texas at Tyler Parking Department 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 by Parking and Transportation.
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?

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.
Be sure to get your VIP their temporary parking pass through the Parking Permit Portal so they do not receive 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. If parking is needed, log into Astra and use the Parking request form and select “Parking - Bus” instead of a parking lot. If possible, UT Tyler Parking Department will assign a location or contact you with concerns.
