Medical School Permit Parking Map
**Please be aware Commuter, Faculty Staff, and Medical School Permits share the same rules and regulations on the TCU main campus**
Bicycle permits are required. Bicycles should ONLY be secured at bicycle racks. Bicycles secured to fences, railings, landscape or anything other than a bicycle rack may be confiscated. Bicycle permits do not expire and there is no cost for the permit.
Students operating non-motorized or electric scooters, skateboards, or other similar devices are required to register for a permit and exercise extreme caution, being mindful of the pedestrian and vehicle traffic on campus. These devices are to be treated with the same rules as a bicycle. They are not allowed to be left unattended or stored in areas, such as hallways outside of classrooms or dorm rooms, walkways intended for pedestrian traffic, or other common areas of campus buildings. Devices found in these areas may be confiscated and brought to the TCU Police Department.
We recommend securing these devices when possible to a bicycle rack utilizing a secure “U-lock” style lock with a solid shackle.
