The official student parking areas of the University are located as follows:

• Corner of Burnett and Festival Streets (H17)
• Corner of Herold and Duxbury Streets (H29)
• Corner of Herold Street and Lynnwood Road (H30)

These parking areas are enclosed areas and patrolled by University of Pretoria security guards. To gain access to these areas, students must produce their student cards. Arrive early. Parking bays are non- allocated and no parking bays may be reserved.

The Engineering III Parkade parking is also available to Undergraduate students. About two thirds of the parking bays in the parkade have been assigned for student parking, which will only be accessible from the new entrance in University Road. The number of available parking bays will be displayed on electronic information boards in University Road. Access control for students will be on a prepaid credit or a pay-on-foot cash basis as at other parkades. Cash payments can be made in cash or by means of a credit card at an automatic payment station.

The prepaid credit system will function as follows: A student will have to open an account at the Katanga Parking Management control room in the parkade. It will then be possible to deposit money against the account. This can be done at the Parking Management control room or at an automatic payment station and will enable a student to gain entrance to the parkade by swiping his/her activated student card at the parkade entrance. To exit the parkade, a student will swipe his/her activated student card at the exit boom. The system will reduce the money available on the student’s parking account by the applicable amount and the balance will be displayed on the screen.

The following rates will apply to casual (student) parking on weekdays from 06:00 to 18:00:

0-2 hours:   R5,00

2-4 hours:   R8,00

4-6 hours:   R10,00

A flat rate of R8,00 will apply from 18:00 to 06:00 on weekdays and over weekends. This will not apply when the parkade is used for spectator events as described above. For spectator events at Loftus Versfeld a rate of R100,00 will apply. The penalty for cars left in the parkade for more than 24 hours will be R250,00. The penalty for a lost ticket will be R50,00.
