Disabled parking is free of charge.
Temporary disabled parking at UiA

The fine for incorrectly parking in disabled parking spaces at UiA is currently NOK 990.
Electric cars - parking and charging stations

Electric cars must pay ordinary parking fees. This also applies when they are parked in a space with a charging station.
Kople operates all the public charging points on campus. Please see the Kople support page for how to charge with app, RFID key or drop-in payment.
Parking spaces with charging points are reserved for cars that are being charged. After charging, the vehicle must be removed or moved to an ordinary parking space.

About parking, parking fines and complaints
The parking areas at UiA are marked with parking signs - a black P on a white background.
- There are parking fees in all parking areas. The rates are shown on signs and on the pay machines. The parking fees apply 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
- Maximum parking time is 14 hours per day. If you leave the car park after having paid, you can return within the 14 hours without having to renew the payment - provided that you have not ended your parking session on the app and that you return the car to a parking area with the same rate as the one you left.
- Parking is only permitted in marked spaces.
- The Apcoa Flow app does not work well on international mobile phones. Use the online version of Apcoa if you have a foreign mobile phone.
Parking fines
Cars parked in a manner that violates the parking rules will be fined, NOK 660 currently - or NOK 990 if the car is parked in a space reserved for movement-disabled with a parking permit.
Fining is in accordance with the national parking regulations that came into force 1 January, 2017 with additional updates – see the regulation on lovdata.no (in Norwegian).
Parking fine - filing a complaint
UiA has engaged Apcoa as a controlling authority.
Apcoa fines violations of parking rules and is also the appellate authority.
Apcoa handles all cases about fines – meaning that all inquiries and complaints must go through Apcoa's systems. On Apcoa's website “About fines” you can also find out how to contact Apcoa's customer support centre.
If you want to make a complaint about a fine (parking ticket), it must be submitted in writing. This can be done at www.kontrollavgift.no.
See the Norwegian Consumer Council’s checklist for complaints (in Norwegian).
Apcoa's controlling activity is performed for a set cost. Income from fines and parking go directly to UiA and is used to operate the parking facilities and for environmental efforts, cf. UiA Board’s resolution in item 101/16 (in Norwegian).
