Section 1720-04-05-.02 - REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES(1) All motor vehicles operated by staff and students in connection with their employment or attendance at The University of Tennessee must be registered with the Parking and Transit Services Department. Registration alone does not confer any parking privileges at any time on campus. Registration improves the security of campus, identifies the operator as affiliated with the University and provides for more expedient notification in the event of any emergency. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR REGISTRATION.(2) Transferable registration hanging tags will be issued to staff and students registering their vehicles. To be valid, these tags must be clearly visible and hanging from the rear view mirror of the registrant s vehicle.(3) Registration tags are not parking permits and do not confer any parking privileges at any time on campus.(4) Parking at University Apartments requires a special registration tag that is to be obtained from the Resident Manager's Office of the apartment complex of residency. This tag will authorize parking at a particular housing unit only. Parking in University lots on the Agriculture and Main Campuses will require the appropriate staff or student parking permit, which may be obtained at the Parking and Transit Services Department, University Center, Room 24, or 2121 Stephenson Drive.(5) Vehicle registration must be renewed at the beginning of each Fall Semester and is valid until the beginning of the following Fall Semester so long as the registrant remains a student or a University employee.(6) Staff vehicle registrations must be accomplished within 72-hours of joining the University staff and within 72-hours of acquiring a vehicle. A temporary permit is required during this initial 72-hour period. Staff vehicle registration must be renewed each year at the beginning of the parking year (August 1 through July 31).(7) Student vehicle registration must be accomplished by the first day of class or within 72 hours of acquiring a vehicle. A temporary permit is required during this 72-hour period.(8) Lost or stolen registration tags (E tags, K tags) will be replaced without charge.(9) The person to whom a vehicle is registered is responsible for that vehicle and all violation citations issued thereto. If the person operating the vehicle is other than the registrant when a violation is committed, both he/she and the registrant may be cited.(10) Specific EXPIRATION DATES are indicated on each registration tag.(11) Ownership of vehicle registration is not transferable.Tenn.
