Who Can Acquire a Parking Permit?
Essentially all individuals, who are allowed to acquire a Job Ticket, are allowed to acquire a parking permit.
Additionally, all the following individuals can also acquire a parking permit:
- RWTH Aachen employees not allowed to have a Job Ticket, such as enrolled employees entitled to the Semester Ticket
- Students and student and scientific assistants
- Employees of other institutions, whose workplace is in RWTH Aachen buildings and exercise university related responsibilities there
- Employees of RWTH Aachen Affiliated Institutes, who have made all of the surrounding space at the Affiliated Institute available as RWTH Aachen parking space
- Senior citizens completing studies for parking zone U
- Scholarship recipients
- University institutions for their guests
- Students attending bridge courses
Special Regulations for Students
Students are only allowed to park in parking zone U.
Parking permits for students are issued for one semester at a time. For this reason, students must reapply each semester to obtain the parking permit. Students can apply for the parking permit at any time during the semester, but they must note that the permit is only valid until the end of the current semester. Thus, the start date is variable, but the end date is always the end of the semester.
Please also note that the minimum fee for the permit is for three months, i.e. students pay at least three times the monthly fee for each semester, even if the parking permit is issued for the last two months of the current semester, for example.
Important Information for Individuals With Disabilities
Disabled employees, students, and senior citizen students who have the letters "G" or "aG" on their Disabled ID Card can obtain a RWTH disabled parking permit from the Representative Council for Staff with Disabilities, SBV for short, upon presentation of the blue RWTH parking permit and the Disabled ID Card. Please contact the SBV to apply.
If you have one of the letters "G", "aG", Bl", "Gl", or "TBl" on your Disabled Parking Permit, you will receive the blue RWTH parking permit free of charge. Please include your Disabled Parking Permit when applying for the RWTH parking permit.
