Section 1720-02-03-.02 - VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PARKING PERMITS(1) All vehicles parked on UTC property must have an unexpired UTC parking permit properly displayed, except as otherwise provided by law or UTC policy.(2) UTC students and employees must register vehicles with the UTC Department of Parking Services in order to obtain a UTC parking permit for a vehicle.(3) UTC parking permits may be obtained for a fee on the UTC Parking Services website (http://www.utc.edu/auxiliary-services/parking/), in person at the UTC Bursar's Office, or at a UTC parking garage or other location where a UTC pay-and-display parking permit station is located.(4) Hangtag parking permits must be displayed on the rearview mirror of the vehicle. Other types of UTC parking permits must be clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle. Expired UTC parking permits must be removed or covered so that only an unexpired UTC parking permit is displayed.(5) A specific expiration date is indicated on each UTC parking permit. A UTC parking permit is not valid after its expiration date.(6) A registrant is responsible for his or her registered vehicle and all parking violation citations relating to the parking of the registered vehicle. If the person operating the registered vehicle is other than the registrant when a parking violation is committed, both the operator and the registrant may be cited for the parking violation. However, UTC will not collect multiple fines for a single violation.(7) A registrant is responsible for his or her UTC parking permit and all violation citations relating to the use of the registrant's parking permit, and is prohibited from sharing or otherwise permitting the parking permit to be used by other persons. If the person using a UTC parking permit when a violation is committed is other than the registrant to whom the parking permit was issued, both the person who committed the violation and the registrant may be cited. However, UTC will not collect multiple fines for a single violation.(8) The owner of an unregistered vehicle is responsible for the unregistered vehicle and all parking violation citations relating to the parking of the vehicle. If the person operating an unregistered vehicle is other than the owner of the vehicle when a parking violation is committed, both the operator and the owner may be cited for the parking violation. However, UTC will not collect multiple fines for a single violation.(9) If a registrant is operating a vehicle other than his or her registered vehicle, then the registrant must display his or her UTC parking permit on the rearview mirror of the alternate vehicle and the parking permit must be clearly visible from the outside. Rule 1720-02-03-.02(9) does not apply to a situation in which a registrant is operating another person's vehicle, with permission, and that person's valid UTC parking permit is displayed on the rearview mirror.(10) A registrant whose UTC parking permit has been lost or stolen may obtain a replacement parking permit for a fee of three dollars ($3.00) upon providing proof of loss of the previously-issued parking permit.Tenn.
