Parking
From 1 April 2024, parking permits via Parkster apply to all University car parks.
On weekdays between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm, only University students, employees and visitors to the University are allowed to park on campus.
There are two different types of parking permit: short-term parking and monthly parking. The monthly parking can be renewed automatically. The auto-renewal can be cancelled, for example during your summer vacation. The rules apply for both students and employees at the University of Skövde.
In the Parkster app, select zone "50375 Månadsparkering Högskolan i Skövde". The zone covers all car parks on the University's campus, including the parking lot outside Building Portalen. After you click on "Select vehicle and buy ticket", enter the code you received in step 2.
It can take up to 24 hours before you can use the code, so be sure to order it before your first day of parking.
