Important Information
  • A UoS placard will only grant permission to park in designated ADA spaces on the UoS campus. 
  • You do not need a UoS ADA placard if you already have a state-issued tag. Students and employees should still register their vehicles through the appropriate parking registration process. 
  • ADA parking placards are issued to individuals and should not be shared with others. Those found to misuse their ADA placard will be sent to the appropriate offices for review. These include, but may not be limited to, Student Conduct, Human Resources, and SPD. 
  • Accessible parking-related issues can be submitted to the ADA Office by emailing ada@sewanee.edu or using the Report a Barrier process .
