Transport and Parking
Visitor Parking
There’s free parking at all our campuses. If you’re a visitor to Mokoia or Windermere Campus please ask at the reception desk for a pass which will allow you to park nice and close to the entrance as it can get very busy at times.
Buses
As an enrolled student you may be entitled to FREE tertiary buses between campuses as well as special offers on normal city bus fares when you show your student ID. This varies depending on the bus company so please check with them directly.
If you're entitled to a student loan, you should be able to draw down $1,000 of course-related costs and this money can be used towards travel expenses.
