Other Permits

Once accepted and enrolled as a student of the Texas Tech University School of Law, you may set up your parking. As a new law student, you will purchase an ePermit for Commuter West (directly northwest of the School of Law) and add your name to the L21 wait list.  

R21/L21 School Of Law Lot

• The School of Law's lot is called R21 and is reserved for its ePermit holders weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
• Law student ePermits for R21 are called L21. Most students move into R21 on a rolling basis the fall of their second year. Wait lists are worked two to three weeks into the fall semester to ensure an exact number of ePermits can be released and not lead to overcrowding.  

L Sticker  

Once on campus, obtain a free L sticker from the School of Law's administration office, and place it above your vehicle's registration sticker on the inside of the windshield. The L sticker provides access to R21 during large evening events at the United Supermarkets Arena (USA) courtesy of Transportation & Parking and the United Supermarkets Arena. No additional ePermit is required.

Motorcycle parking encompasses all two-wheel vehicles that must be registered with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. This includes motorcycles and scooters like Vespas. Parking for your motorcycle is available for both students and employees.  

Students And Employees Without Area Reserved Or Reserved Space Epermits 

To bring a motorcycle or scooter and park on campus, you can purchase a two-wheel (motorcycle) permit. This allows you to park in any designated two-wheel parking area.  

These motorcycle (two-wheel) parking areas are found in pockets within Residence Hall lots and are curbed off with parking bumpers. Student motorcycles must abide by the same rules as student vehicles, including not driving beyond the entry stations weekdays from 7:30 a.m.  to 5:30 p.m.

Employees With Area Reserved Or Reserved Space Epermits

Add your motorcycle as an authorized vehicle on your account, and you may park it in your regular lot or space just as you would your car or truck.
