If you join us in person: parking tips
For community parking, there is an official Visitor Lot immediately behind/east of the “One Stop building,” also known as Student Services and Admissions Center, on Blue Raider Drive (see SSAC in area E4 on this map). There is no charge for parking in the Visitor Lot; it’s completely free; however you will need to park, walk into SSAC to its main lobby desk and get a tag, and then go back to put the parking tag in your car.
If you’d rather get a permit to park elsewhere, please note that Parking Services moved this past year. It’s now located at 205 City View Drive, Murfreesboro.
You can also purchase a parking permit online. Learn more here.
Masks are required on campus.
