As the end of the year is approaching, it’s time to go online to your vPermit account to check your expiry date and plan for your 2021 vPermit purchase.

Your expiry date will differ according to your method of payment in 2020, as credits covering the COVID-19 work-from-home period were applied in different ways:

• Staff who paid via salary sacrifice will have noticed that salary deductions were paused in April 2020 and resumed in August 2020.  These permits will expire 31 December and staff will need to purchase a new permit for 2021.
• Staff who paid for their vPermit by credit card will see that their permit is valid until 30 June 2021 (as refunds could not be provided for credit card payments).

2021 permits

The University’s parking calendar operates from 1 January to 31 December each year.  Purchasing of vPermits for General and staff zones will be available from 1 January 2021.

It is anticipated that the North 3 staff carpark will reopen in February 2021 and will be available for gym patrons and ‘Staff Only’ vPermit holders.
