The final step in the card system rebuild is to put the parking barriers back into operation. It is planned to put them back into normal operation next week.

This will be phased and based on the following details:

1. The Melbourn Car Park will return to normal operation with the barrier down on Tuesday 5th November
2. The Astroturf Car Park will return to normal operation with the barrier down on Thursday 7th November

To avoid disappointment please check your card in advance

To ensure you can gain entry to the above car parks you need to confirm the following two things:

1. That your card has a balance on it
2. That your card does not have any errors on it

If your card has either of the above issues it will be flagged during any of the following activities:

• Using your card to pay for anything at any of the retail stations (shop, canteen, bistro, coffee dock, reprographics etc)
• Scanning your card at a print/copy station will show up any error or €0 balance

If you can successfully print or use a retail solution with your card then your card will gain entry to the above car parks. If you have not used your card for a while and wish to do so for the above car parks next week then you need to complete activity a) or b) above to confirm the card is ok in advance. 

To ensure you can gain entry to the above car parks it is highly advisable to check your card in advance.

What if my card has an issue?

• If your card has an error you need to go to the card office to get it corrected.       
• If your card has a zero balance you need to top up your balance using Web Top-Up or any till throughout the Bishopstown campus.
