Parking on campus

Parking on campus is only permitted in designated areas.

Between 9:00am and 5:00pm (6:00am to 6:00pm in Car Park 12) you must display a valid permit or park in a metered bay.

Parking areas are marked on the university map.

A general speed limit of 50kph applies on campus and is enforced by the South Australian Police.

Regular parking

Staff, students and regular visitors can purchase annual or semester permits. These are valid in the general parking areas set aside in all car parks except 6 and 18.

Permits can be purchased from the Cashier's Office on the ground floor of the Registry.

The  2008 parking permit (PDF 20KB) includes current fees.

Short-term parking

Day permits

Day permits valid for 24 hours from the time of purchase can be used in all car parks except 6, 12 and 18.

They can be purchased from:

• the Cashier's Office
• vending machines in the information bay near the university's main entrance
• vending machines in car parks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 15 on the main campus and in car parks 13, 14 and 16 on the Sturt campus.

Four-hour parking

Ticketed bays are in car park 18 at Sturt (4-hour limit) and car park 6 near the Registry (4 hours on top deck, no limit on lower deck).

Disabled parking

Disabled parking bays are available in all car parks. A State Disability Permit is valid in these areas without a ticket or day permit. People who have a short-term disability can apply for a non-renewable three-month university permit through the Health Service. Written evidence from a treating medical professional is required. These permits are only valid when displayed with an annual, semester or day permit.

Personal security

If you intend to stay on campus late at night you are advised to move your vehicle to a well-lit car park closer to the buildings before it gets dark.

At night the university Loop Bus visits most car parks.

If the Loop Bus is not available or convenient, you can arrange an escort to your car by using a security hotline phone, or calling 12880 (internal).
