It is the desire of The University of Tennessee Health Science Center to accommodate all faculty, staff, and students who have a genuine need for accessible parking. Accessible parking spaces are located throughout campus.

We encourage anyone coming to campus for a special event to contact the event coordinators to see if additional arrangements have been made for ADA access if existing parking does not suffice.

If you would like to report a digital or physical accessibility issue or would like to provide any feedback, please use the form below. OAC will review your request and share it with the appropriate department(s) to be addressed in a timely manner. If you're using a screen reader, the form should be accessible, however, if you have issues, please contact OAC at oac-hsc@uthsc.edu. If you wish for us to follow up directly with you on the status of your request, please provide your name and email address on the form. Otherwise, self-identification is not required to submit a report of an inaccessible page or space.
