EXAM PARKING UPDATE: 14 May 2007
The University has contacted the MSA to let us know that the Racecourse will honour blue and red parking permits from all campuses and student ID cards, and will thus not charge students with these permits. Thank you to all who signed the petition, you have helped get this result. The University will be sending out a global email soon.
Its not complete free parking but at least it allows those that have paid for their parking already this year to not be charged further. Its not ideal, but its a compromise that means a real outcome for students.
This campaign has been a result of a collaborative effort of Monash Student Unions, MSA, Monsu Caulfield, MUBS and MPSA. Opt into your student union emails (in your my.monash portal) for information about future campaigns to protect student rights and great events on campus.
Tell the University what you think about parking changes
Stop the Parking Price Hike
The Monash Student Association has been notified that the University plans to increase the cost of parking permits and ticket parking, and turn the free parking on Blackburn Road into permit parking. The proposed increases would involve the cost of blue permits skyrocketing from $83 in 2006 to $280 in 2007. The cost of ticket parking would be increased by 50%, and free parking would become blue permit parking.
The University is seeking to generate additional income to offset revenue lost because of Voluntary Student Unionism. Increasing parking fees is one component of this.
Whilst the MSA agrees that student services are worthy of funding, the proposed fee increases are too high, and place an unreasonable burden on students who drive to University. We are negotiating with the University to achieve a fairer deal for students, but it's important that you tell the University your views on the proposed increases. Please fill out the email below to let the University know your views.

Do you need a computer for study?
Free refurbished computers for students
The Monash Computer Co-Op refurbishes old computers for students who otherwise cannot afford them. It works on the basis of student involvement, and asks that recipients do something to help to keep the program running. This can be either technical or non-technical tasks.
If you are interested in getting involved (including donating old hardware), or you need a computer and don't have the money to buy a new one.
