Student Notices

Have you applied for your new vehicle permit as yet? Motorists are advised that expired 2022/2023 vehicle permits will be accepted for access via the North and South Gates until September 31, 2023. Persons are therefore encouraged to apply for their 2023/2024 vehicle permits as soon as possible, as from October 01,  2023, the expired permits will no longer be accepted for authorized entry through the North and South Gates.

Persons who have applied for 2022/2023 vehicle permits before August 1, 2023, must reapply, as all applications submitted before this date were purged from the system in preparation for receiving applications for the new academic year.
