Parking at the University

The parking permit that applies to pay-per-use payment is automatically renewed in the app every three months. It is renewed automatically as long as you are employed or a student at UiB.

The parking permit that applies to monthly (30 days) subscription purchases is extended until it is terminated or you are no longer employed or a student. The cancellation period for monthly subscriptions starts in the 30-day period the cancellation is registered and extends into the following period.

NOTE: employees and students who have previously had a parking permit in the Aimo Park app, are themselves responsible for registering the parking permit in the Park Nordic app when using it for the first time. Simply paying for parking is not sufficient, as the UiB parking permit does not transfer automatically from the Aimo Park app to the Park Nordic app.

Employees and students must have an active parking permit to make use of open parking spots at UiB. This includes spots for electric cars and handicap spots.

You can check the status of your parking permits in the Park Nordic parking app. You will find a summary of active parking permits, how long these will last, and the vehicle registration number connected to the permits at the App’s home screen.

The screenshots below show you how the parking app looks when you have a parking agreement to pay for each individual day/parking period.

If you want to pay for a whole month at a time, you must use the product "UiB - månedsparkering - ansatt og student". The screenshot below shows how the app will look if you have activated this product.

The product "Kupongkodeparkering" is only for external personel that have been given a temporary permit to park at UiB. If you make use of this product yoou must register a new parking permit and pay every day. The screenshot below shows you how the homepage in the app will look when you have registered a "kupongkodeparkering" and have an active parking permit.

Parking at specially reserved spots require a special parking permit (whitelisting), this is administered by the UiB unit that manages the spot.

Once you have a valid parking agreement in place, you can change the registration number associated with the agreement at any time.

Remember that the registration number for the vehicle you park with must be updated both in the ongoing parking permit for UiB and in the payment screen for parking – discrepancies may result in a control fee.

Note: If you use different registration numbers, make sure that the registration number for the vehicle you are parking is selected for the ongoing agreement – if not, you must change it to the registration number you are parking with that day.

There are only a few reserved parking spots at UiB. Units that have been granted reserved spots must ensure that any the cars that are to make use of them are whitelisted.

One must pay for reserved spots in the same way as for open spots.

The University has two parking garages that are available to lease for employees and students.

Dokkeveien garasjeanlegg (97 spots) – employees and students can apply.

The Haukeland area (102 spots) – employees and student can apply. The Parking spots are spread over four different parking garages and 3 are run by Helse Bergen. These are:

• AHH tilfluktsrom (5 spots)
• Ulriksdalen parking garage (78 spots)(Note that students and UiB employees are not allowed to make use of the first floor of this parking house).
• Fløenbakken 56 parking garage (12 spots).
• The UiB garage under BB-bygget (7 spots).

Extra information regarding the parking garages run by Helse Bergen (in Norwegian).

Note that the height of the Fløenbakken garage is only 185 cm. If you have a tall car or a a car with a ski-box it may not fit in the garage.

Applying for a garage spot

If you want to lease space in one of the garages you must apply through our electronic application form (the form is in Norwegian).

The first deadline for applying for 2025 is the 28.11.2024. Any applications that are received after that date will be considered if there are space left in the relevant garage. In the ordinary application period students and employees with children in kindergarten or 1^st grade will be prioritized (this must be documented).

Emeriti may apply only after the deadline has passed and will be assigned a parking space if one is available.

The price to lease space in a UiB parking garage is 9000 NOK per year. Payment is due twice a year (4500 NOK each time), in December and June, and the first instalment must be paid before the leasing period begins and before access to the garage is given.

The leasing period runs from 01.01.25 to 31.12.25.

It is not possible to apply for a shorter leasing period in the ordinary application round.

You may only cancel the lease every half year. The deadline for cancelling the lease is June 1^st.

If you are assigned a spot after the ordinary application, but in the period 01.01 – 30.06, you will be charged for the full year. If you only lease a spot from 01.07 – 31.12, you only have to pay for half a year.

On September 28^th, 2019, the University Board decided to change the parking system at UiB as part of a broader strategy for combating climate change. This included the introduction of paid parking, removal of most reserved parking spots, and a reduction in the number of parking space overall.

All employees and students that wants to make use of UiB parking spots must first have an electronic parking permit in the ParkNordic app. For parking at the remaining reserved parking spots a special dispensation (whitelisting) is needed. In addition, all parking periods must be registered in the app each time. This includes parking at reserved spots.

For leasing a garage spot at Dokkeveien and Haukelandsområdet, see the terms above.

For information about the parking at Årstadveien 19, see the relevant entry above.

When you apply for an employee/student electronic parking permit at UiB, you also agree the UiB parking terms.  

The parking facilities at UiB is very limited, and employees and students should make their own arrangements if they find that UiB’s facilities are full.

Leaving your car parked overnight is not allowed at UiB parking spaces, and the UiB parking spaces are subject to parking control 24-7.

Any car removal following illegal parking at UiB parking space is done at the risk and cost of the owner of the car. This includes cars that are parked overnight. Impounded cars will be returned as soon as the parking ticket and impound fee is paid.
