If you did not register for an advising session but would like one, please let us know and every attempt will be made to accommodate the request. You can reach out to [email protected] for Advising session requests.
Additionally, if you requested an advising session and need to add, change, or cancel please let us know.
 

Parking and Arrival

We have attached a parking pass for you for Lot 31, this is our guest parking. Lot 31 is a covered parking garage across from the University Center (UC) where the event will start. It is a short walk to UC. You will receive a parking pass via email about a week prior to the event.
Here is a link to our campus parking map here Lot 31 is a reserved lot.
You can plug in this address to your GPS to be directed straight to the lot 31 garage:  715 Mocs Alumni Drive, Chattanooga, TN 37403 . Please be sure to print and display this pass on your front dashboard. Anyone that does not display this pass on the front dash will run the risk of being given a parking fee of $6. Our guest lot automatically charges a $6 fee for all cars parked on the lot unless you have a pass. Should you forget to place the pass in your car and are ticketed (or get a ticket even with the pass) please let us know and we will resolve the matter, no payment will need to be made on your part. We will have a limited number of passes on hand should you need a replacement upon arrival.
 
Once you arrive, you will exit the parking garage and cross the street and proceed down the sidewalk to the entrance of the university center (circled on the map below). You will enter at the first floor by the UTC bookstore. For those that have attended previously this is a different entrance than before as our university center is undergoing renovations. You will turn right at the corner by our POD market and  will see the registration table at the end of the hall. We will have volunteers and signs helping direct you, but if you enter the UC at another location simply ask to be directed to the UC Tennessee Room.
The entrance to the UC via the bookstore is a sloping hill, those with wagons and carts are welcome to drop off items at the entrance (noted on the map) and then park. We will have volunteers outside to assist you.
