The administration has officially canceled the proposed premium parking fees. Your collective insistence on affordable access ensured this reversal. We will continue to monitor the campus environment to ensure that student safety remains the primary priority.

The imposition of a GH500 premium parking service translates into an approximate cost of GHS7.4 parking fee per school day, GH1000 parking fee per academic year or GH1,500 when three semesters are run within a year (a case in point is the 2021 Year). We find this rate as outrageous and excessive to already overburdened law students of GIMPA
The Faculty parking space is designed purposely for the faculty, students and other users of the building. Parking, therefore must be on a first-come-first-served basis and not on a ‘premium-rate’ basis.
The lack of pedestrian pathways leading to the faculty pose a high security risk to the safety of the students who would have to walk to the faculty.
This risk is further heightened at night or dawn due to the poor lighting systems on the roads and in the car parks on the campus.

I have been compiling the accounts shared by students regarding the ongoing safety concerns on our campus. These reports are being organized for formal presentation to the administration to highlight why current parking fees remain unjustifiable.

The current level of engagement demonstrates that our concerns regarding the new parking fees are shared by a significant portion of the student body. This unified response highlights the necessity for a formal review of the current policy by the administration.

Charging students of the faculty to park their cars at the faculty car park is simply fraudulent after taking all these fees! Otherwise they must provide free shuttle services for those of us who will park at the main car park far away at the entrance, who cannot walk that distance due to health issues.
Student car part shouldn't be an extra burden after fulfilling an obligations as a student in good standing. In any case car permit should be issued to students for identification purposes.
how can we pay such exorbitant fees and also pay for parking it’s not as if our spots will be reserved with our names. we are already suffering in this economy. cars that we pay fuel into to make our coming to class easier you want to strip that away from us too
It is excessive to pay Ghs500 for just a semester when in 2019/20 we paid Ghs200 for 2 semesters
Parking fee if any I belive is embedded in our inordinate fees of about Ghc15,000.00 per academic year.
Bad policy which should be stopped right away
One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

UG Students pay Ghs 50 to use electronic gates. On what bases is GIMPA charging 500? And this affects only Law Students, the biggest contributors to the school’s coffers.
