Parking
As a service to our students, TUCC has negotiated parking discounts at several nearby garages. TUCC has no affiliation with these garages or any role in their policies. In order to get the discount, you must have your parking ticket stamped and show proof of affiliation if asked. You may use the parking validation stamp in the Director’s Office, where we also have a detailed list of participating garages. The rates after 4:00 p.m. range from $3.50 to $6.00.

Lounges are conveniently located on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors. You’ll find interoffice phones there, also, in case you need to call another Temple office.
