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.

Behaviour and Responsibilities, Our Community

Health and Safety on campus

Leave a comment

UC is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all students. To make sure you feel safe on campus, here are a few things to remember:

Look up:

Whether you’re a pedestrian, cyclist or skateboarder, it is important to be aware of what’s happening around you. Look out for others when travelling through campus to make sure you are not putting others at risk. 

 No smoking or vaping on campus:  

UC is a smokefree campus, meaning you cannot smoke cigarettes or vape on campus grounds, in or near any UC buildings or at any field stations. By respecting the smokefree policy we can all enjoy a healthier place to study, work, socialise and live. 

Do you know where the Emergency Procedures are located around your lectures?  

All departments have an Emergency Procedures flip chart outlining what to do in different types of emergencies. The flip charts are on display throughout the University and can be found in all lecture theatres. A PDF version of each page can be found on the UC website Emergency Procedures page.

Assura:

We need your help to keep our campus safe. If you see something unsafe or get injured while on campus, it is super easy to let us know. Assura is our easy to use health and safety reporting system. Reporting through Assura will increase our visibility of hazards, so we can correct any issues and make UC safer. Health and safety is all of our responsibility, and by working together we can protect our community. More information on reporting an incident or hazard can be found on the UC website Report an Incident page.

It’s time! Check you’re emergency ready

Leave a comment

With daylight saving ending soon, it’s a good time to check you’re ready in case of emergency.

A few quick questions:

  • Have you saved UC Security’s number in your phone?

UC Security staff are on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so someone will always be there to help you in an emergency at UC. Be prepared by saving UC Security’s number: 0800 823 637.

  • Are your emergency contact details current?

It’s easy to update your details through myUC. Take a moment to check the person you’ve listed as your emergency contact is still appropriate, and their details are still correct. While you’re logged in to myUC you can also check your details are up-to-date (especially if you’ve moved recently), in case someone from UC needs to reach out to you.

  • Do you know about UC’s Help point towers?

There are 13 help towers (topped by blue lights) located across UC’s Ilam and Dovedale campuses to provide information any time, and immediate assistance in an emergency. Read more>
