What is a parking card?
Each university has its own parking lot, where parking spaces are reserved for university staff and its students. The number of places may be limited, which means that not all students will find a place for their cars. When the university is located in the city center, finding a parking spot can be a big challenge, but thanks to the parking card you can avoid the daily search.
Who can get a parking card?
Most universities distribute parking cards to their employees first. If the number of parking spaces is greater, students can also apply for them. Having a parking card can entitle you to access the designated campus area or to park in a specific area. To obtain such a card, you must first apply to the dean's office of your faculty at the beginning of the academic year and ask if it is possible to obtain one. Each university has its own regulations, and if parking cards are not issued in the dean's offices, students will certainly find out where to go there.
What connection does a student ID card have with the parking card?
To be able to park on campus, you must be a student or an employee of the university. A student ID is the primary document that certifies that a person is studying at the university. However, for the ID to be valid, it must have a current hologram sticker from ELS. The holograms are distributed at the university’s deaneries. Another way to obtain the stickers for people who are no longer studying is to start collecting them.
