New QR Code for Casual Parking

Leave a comment

UC Security are making changes to the parking payments system here at UC.

From 4 June 2024 UC Parking (Security) will be moving from daily coupons for casual parking, to a Pay-by-Plate QR code for casual parking.

This QR code should be used for all daily or weekly parking requirements.

How to pay for casual parking

Either:

Scan the QR code located on the signs in UC Carparks, or

Visit the payment website here

If you don’t have a smartphone, you can still purchase parking via the Pay-by-Plate machines, located in the UC Carparks, using either card or cash.

Monthly and Annual permits are currently still in place and are available from the Security Office.

Department coupons continue to be available from the Security Office for Department use only.

Please refer any enquiries to security@canterbury.ac.nz

Thank you for your support for these changes.

Security tips for your safety

Leave a comment

At UC, we’re lucky to generally have a safe campus, but it’s good to remember safety tips just in case you need them.  

Here are some simple things you can do to make our campus safer for you and everyone else. Check out our security tips and take charge of your own safety. 

For example, it’s important to use the recommended walking routes on campus at night – see the Safe walk map. Know your bus timetables to avoid long waits – especially if you’re alone. 

In an emergency, contact UC Security 0800 823 637 or 92111 (put the number in your phone) or use one of the 13 Help point towers on Ilam Campus.

Please be aware that surveyors cannot always observe through windows or doors, so they will sometimes need to enter spaces (e.g lecture theatres and offices with solid doors) to get an accurate count.

You can support the space audit by:

  • Opening your office blinds or taking down anything obscuring windows into corridors so surveyors can see in without having to knock on your door.
  • Leaving your door ajar if your office doesn’t have windows, where appropriate.
  • Setting a reminder so that you are aware that the audit is underway.
  • Being patient and friendly with our surveyors as they perform this work.

Key building contacts have been contacted directly by email prior to this notification.

Please pass this information on to your colleagues/teams and if you have any questions, reach out to the Space Management team through spacemanagement@canterbury.ac or FMAssist@canterbury.ac.nz

We thank you for your consideration as we perform this required work.
