Parking & Transportation
The College of Education is housed in the George I. Sánchez Building (SZB) located at the intersection of Martin Luther King Blvd. and Speedway in Austin, Texas. SZB is located across from Beauford H. Jester Center (JES) and in back of the Perry-Castañeda Library (PCL).
- Faculty, staff, and students may buy a parking permit from the Parking & Transportation Services Office. There are several permit options available, ranging from garage, surface lot, and general parking, some of which are dependent on employment or enrollment status.
- Students and visitors may park in University garages offering hourly rates or at parking meters on campus. Privately owned pay lots and garages also are also often available around the perimeter of campus. UT Parking requires faculty, staff, and students to buy a permit to park motorcycles or mopeds on campus. Cyclists are highly encouraged to register their bicycles with the UT Police Dept. There is a limited amount of 30-minute parking available on the west side of the Sanchez Building as well.
- State Disabled Parking Permits are honored on campus, and specific areas are set aside for disabled parking. A University Disabled Permit may be required in addition to the State Permit or license plates during specific times, so be sure to check the UT Parking website for requirements.
Always be sure to read the signs if parking on campus, as many areas have designed parking hours, time limits, and permit restrictions.
Housing
- Austin has housing opportunities to suit everyone's tastes. Whether you prefer dorm-style living, a co-op or just an apartment, Austin has it all. Students are responsible for making their own housing arrangements. However, Texas Global provides the below suggestions to help you in your search.
- The University Apartments are three distinct UT communities where everyone is a Longhorn, from your neighbors to the staff. The apartments are reserved for families, graduate students and undergraduates with at least 30 credit hours in good standing with the university. Discover which complex is right for you, read about the application process and get resources for living here.
FYI: If you’re looking for housing, we also recommend the GCN-Housing Listserv (search for it on UTLists).
