UPDATE: The University has contacted the MSA today to let us know that the Racecourse will honour blue and red parking permits from all campuses and staff ID cards, and will thus not charge students with these permits. Thank you to all who signed this petition, you have helped get this result, a global email should be sent out 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 win for students. The result of a collaborative effort of Monash Student Unions, MSA, Monsu Caulfield, MUBS and MPSA. ----------- This year exam parking is going to cost $6 every time you sit an exam at Caulfield race course, do you think this is fair Sign this petition to stop the university and the Caulfield racecourse charging for students to park at exams. We have bought our parking permits for the academic year, Monash should honour those permits at the racecourse, if Monash chooses to hold Berwick and Clayton exams at Caulfield they need to provide free parking options. The University needs to either: 1) allow all students to park for free. 2) at least allow blue parking permits to park for free. 3) if thats not possible open up the caulfield multiplex for free for the exam period. The MSA has offered all this options to the university, they have refused to consider any of these. For more information Clayton students contact the MSA: [email protected] Caulfield students contact MONSU Caulfield: [email protected] Berwick students contact MUBS: www.mubs.com.au Parkville students contact MPSA: Stephanie Chau- [email protected]

I honestly cannot believe the university actually blinked and finally agreed to honor our existing permits at the racecourse. It is not the total free-for-all I originally wanted but seeing us push them into a corner like this is such a rush, especially considering how many times they told us no at the start.

I just checked and we somehow hit one hundred people on this thing which is honestly wild because I really thought nobody was going to care about parking fees as much as I do. It feels like maybe we can actually push the university to listen since my phone has been buzzing with notifications all morning and I am trying to keep up with all the messages.

its honestly ridiculous that we have to pay $6 just to sit an exam. we already pay enough for tuition and yearly permits.
