It\u2019s your first time parking on campus, and you\u2019re not sure what to do. Here\u2019s our guide on how to pay for parking at Curtin using the CellOPark app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Download CellOPark and fill in your details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Open your phone\u2019s app store and download CellOPark. From there, open the CellOPark app and fill in all your personal details.

Next, you\u2019ll need to add your bank account details. This is essential as CellOPark works on a pay-as-you-go system. To verify that you have a valid bank account, you may temporarily be charged $1. If so, that money will automatically be refunded to your bank account.

Finally, you\u2019ll need to add your vehicle by typing in your plate number. Without completing these details, CellOPark will not allow you to start a parking session.

We recommend downloading the app and filling in these details the day before you come to campus, as it can take some time to work through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get familiar with the parking zones on campus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive on campus, you\u2019ll notice that we have five parking zones<\/a>, each marked by a different colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your average day as a student, you can park in either the green or yellow bays. Green bays are the cheapest parking for students, but the furthest away from campus. Yellow bays are closer to campus but are more expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get familiar with parking zones and rates<\/a> before you arrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Start your parking session<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve parked your car, open the CellOPark app. Make sure that CellOPark has access to your location. From there, a marker showing where you are parked will appear on a map of Curtin\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CellOPark should automatically fill-in which parking zone you are parked in. If not, then click the \u201cSelect Zone\u201d button. From there, you should be able to select \u201cCurtin University\u201d and the parking zone you are currently in. If you are not sure, have a look around for parking signs, as their colours and numbers should match one of the options on your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve selected your zone, all you have to do is press the green button on the bottom of the screen to start your session. A timer should appear, as well as a red button that allows you to end your parking session when you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t forget to end your session<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve hopped into your car and are ready to go home, don\u2019t forget to open CellOPark and end your session by pressing the red button. Once you end your session, CellOPark will give you a summary of how long you were parked at Curtin and how much it cost you for that particular session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Paying for parking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CellOPark is a pay-as-you-go system, that automatically charges its users monthly. Make sure you have enough money in your bank account when the time comes around and that you\u2019re up to speed on what happens if you miss a CellOPark payment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget that parking on campus is free on weekends and before 8:00am or after 4:30pm on weekdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Parking fines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are parked on campus and do not have CellOPark on or you have selected the wrong parking zone, you will receive a fine. Stay up-to-date with information about parking fines<\/a> and what to do if you get one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
