The academic program has been suspended for 2 weeks now as students demand justice for Katlego Monareng - allegedly killed by police.
In August, police were deployed to the institution's Soshanguve campus after violence erupted over claims that the Student Representative Council (SRC) elections were rigged.
A law firm was appointed to probe the allegations.
The institution turned to the High Court on Friday, to obtain an interdict to prevent students from protesting or causing disruptions.
"Activities at TUT's Soshanguve campuses remain suspended for 10 September, due to overnight acts of violence and damage to property," says spokesperson, Willa de Ruyter.
Officials are expected to assess the damage on Monday.
