If you are a full-time or part-time student currently enrolled in a degree program at UWA and have completed a minimum of 48 points towards a degree course (as indicated by the UWA Student Records System), you may be eligible to obtain a parking permit.

Students enrolled in Non-Award Courses (e.g. AccessUWA, UWA Extension - Continuing Education, Not For Degree and Cross-Institutional) are not eligible for a parking permit.

If you have not completed 48 points of study, you are generally not entitled to a parking permit.

If you are a graduate of another university you may apply for a permit, but you will also need to provide evidence of your previous degree.

Students with less than 48 credit points are not eligible for a student parking permit

Students in their first academic year of a degree program, as indicated by the Student Record System, are not eligible for a student parking permit unless already a graduate of another university.

First-year students are encouraged to use public transport

Students residing at University Hall, Trinity College, St George's College, St Catherine's College or St Thomas More College are not eligible for a UWA student parking permit.

Postcodes that prevent you from applying for a permit

At UWA, we support sustainable travel options for our students and community. This includes encouraging the use of public transport, walking and cycling to and from campus. Visit public transport for more details.

If you live in one of the following postcodes, you are not eligible for a student parking permit at UWA:

Student Permit Exemption Application

UWA has a limited number of on-campus parking spaces and cannot provide a parking permit to all of its 27,000 plus students.

To determine eligibility for a permit, strict criteria have been established. If you believe that your circumstances warrant the need for a UWA student parking permit, please fill out the Student Permit Exemption Application form.

Only applications with complete supporting documentation will be considered.

Student parking areas

---




Yellow student parking permit areas

If you have a student parking permit, you can park in the yellow parking areas (car parks 1, 4, 8, 9, 21 [upper], 31, 35, 37 and 43).

A parking permit does not guarantee you a parking bay.

If all the yellow student parking areas are full, you may park in short or long-term pay and display parking areas after purchasing and displaying a ticket.




Parking without a permit

For non-permit holders, or if the permit-parking areas are full, there are long and short-term pay and display parking areas:

• Long-term (8am to 5pm)
  Car Parks 9, 17, 31, 33 and 35.

• Short-term (8am to 5pm)
  The maximum amount of time you're allowed to park varies, so make sure to check before leaving your car.
  Car Parks 1, 3, 4, 20 and 25 (Car Park 37 parking is restricted between 7am to 8pm).

At the end of the time limit on the signage, the vehicle must be moved from the carpark.

Ticket machines will only accept Visa or MasterCard payments.

Please do not park in reserved, disabled and maintenance bays.




Red and yellow parking bays after hours

You don't need a permit for red and yellow bays on weekends, or after 5pm and before 8am on weekdays (except Car Park 37 where parking is restricted between 7am to 8pm, Monday to Friday)
