Parking

All vehicles parked on APSU’s campus must be registered in the APSU parking portal. This includes both those who are affiliated with university (student, faculty, staff) and those who are not affiliated (visitors). APSU uses License Plate Recognition to identify vehicles parked on campus. The cost of student parking is included in the student access fees.

You may access the parking portal here. 

• Click Login in the upper right corner. 
• Select APSU Single Sign-On and log in with your email credentials (just use your username, you can omit that @apsu.edu or @my.apsu.edu) 
• Select Order Permit 
• The system will provide you with the permit you are eligible to register for. Select that permit. 
• Select vehicle(s).  If you had a vehicle previously registered, you can choose that vehicle.  You can also add vehicles to your account.  Please ensure you enter the correct license plate number. 
• Confirm the Information and Add Permit to Cart 
• Checkout – If you a student or an employee with payroll deduction, there will be no payment required.  If you are an employee who is not on payroll deduction, you will be taken to payment screen. 

Resident students park in their assigned lot, and commuter students must park in commuter parking lots.

The following represents the color-coding system for parking on campus:

• Red: Faculty and Staff
• Blue: ADA Accessible
• Green: Commuters
• Silver: Residents including Emerald Hills and Two Rivers
• Black: Overflow, any valid APSU permit is authorized for this zone

All vehicle license plates must face the driving lane of the parking lot so our cameras can read your plates. If you wish to back in or pull through, you will need a front license plate. If your state does not issue front license plates, you can get an APSU Vanity Plate for the front of your car from the Parking Office in the Shasteen Building. 

You can add as many vehicles as you wish to your account through the portal by Clicking on Vehicles in your account. 

*Visitor and timed parking spaces will be labeled as such. The APSU parking regulations and map can be found at www.apsu.edu/parking.

ROTC, Memorial Health Building, 931-221-6156

Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) provides students with the leadership skills, training and experiences they need to become officers in the U.S. Army or be competitive in any professional field. Army ROTC is an elective curriculum students can take along with their required college classes. Along with leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition, provided you qualify.

Because Army ROTC is an elective, students may participate during their freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. Students who choose to participate in Army ROTC throughout their college careers will participate in challenging physical and mental exercises to prepare to be commissioned as officers in the Army. Junior military officers are paid very competitively with respect to recent college graduates in numerous fields, receive full medical and dental benefits, have 30 days of paid vacation per year and have outstanding continuing educational opportunities, among many other benefits.

Students may join the ROTC program as freshman, sophomores, or juniors (two-year program) with the attendance of summer camp (30 days) the summer prior to fall of your junior year. Email Mr. Julius Kelley at kelleyj@apsu.edu or Julius.r.kelley.civ@army.mil for additional guidance.
