Generally no. Residential first-year students are not permitted to have cars on campus during their first academic year unless an approved exception applies.
UTampa's freshman parking policy applies to students who graduated from high school within the prior year and are living on campus. The policy restricts first-year residential parking from fall through spring and provides an exception process for qualifying circumstances such as documented medical need.
