Guest vPermits

The virtual guest parking permit provides university-paid parking for guests of Flinders University who are participating in activities like business meetings, seminars/lectures, workshops, committees, or student supervision. The decision to pay for guest parking remains at the discretion of local areas and Colleges. The cost of the guest permit ($2 per hour of parking) is charged to the College or Professional Service local area using a cost center code in the ‘back-end’ of the online vPermit tool.

All staff identified as a Service Specialist by their College or Portfolio with a valid FAN can request a virtual guest permit. If you are a staff member and you would like to hold the role of Service Specialist for this purpose please contact your Team Leader or Manager in the first instance and then contact the PFD Customer Service Team.

If you are a Service Specialist you can request a guest permit using the online tool called ‘vPermit’ which is accessible from your Okta dashboard. You will need the guest’s registration number to create a permit.

You will need the guest’s registration number to create a permit. Note that if you do not have the guest’s registration number at the time of creating the permit you can still create the permit using an admin registration number (123456) and then update the vehicle registration details when your guest arrives. If the correct vehicle registration number is not updated the guest may receive an infringement notice.

Guest permits can be used to park in white bays or 2P (2-hour maximum parking bays). Guest permits can no longer be used to park in blue bays. View further information and carpark details.

It’s possible that at times there may be no available 2P bays in the car park of your choice. If this occurs you can contact PFD Customer Service and they will help you find a bay in another car park. 

If there appear to be no available parking bays please contact the PFD Customer Service team who will be happy to help your guest find a parking bay in one of the car parks at Flinders.
