Benefits

Campus parking permits are available to UVRA members at a rate set annually by Campus Security Services and the UVic Board of Governors. UVRA General Reserve Parking permits are available through Campus Security Services by presenting your UVic ONECard at their office or online. Associate members must present proof of membership in UVRA in person at the Campus Security Services office. Those needing a parking permit for a motorcycle or scooter should go directly to the Campus Security Office, which will issue the appropriate permit for the motorcycle, etc. If it is the first time that you are registering your vehicle, or if you have changed your vehicle or license-plate, please bring your ICBC insurance documents with you.

As of September 1st, 2022 there are no more annual passes to park on campus.

There are three options: 

- Without a permit, you will need to enter your licence plate number and pay the hourly rate at one of the dispensers;

- or you can download the free Honkmobile app to your mobile phone, to enable contactless parking. This app includes a reminder function, so you can extend your parking time remotely. 

- Retirees may purchase a Retirees Flex Permit consisting of 52 individual uses/ sessions of up to two hours each.  (These will not expire if not used within a given year.)

Parking is in any Lot, 24/7, Reserved or General space. (Parking is free on Sundays; no permit needed)

Prior pass holders and recent UVic retirees may only need to show their OneCard as proof of their eligibility. Others may be required to obtain proof of membership in UVRA from the Association. 

The pass is available from the Security Office on campus. At times of heavy demand, such as the start of a new semester, there may be a delay of up to two days before you receive your personal code. 

If you need to register more than one vehicle, you must take the proof of ownership of those vehicles (current ICBC insurance papers) to Security in person.

To use the Permit, go to a dispenser, and

    Step 1 Enter your vehicle’s licence plate number 

                  (Note: this applies also if you are using a rental car)

    Step 2 Select “Coupon hourly”

    Step 3 Select “2 hours”

    Step 4 Enter your personal Permit code

    Step 5 Press “OK”

All eligible members of our association who were employed at UVic can obtain a complimentary Vikes Recreation membership, by using your current UVic ONECard for use of the university's athletic facilities. Vikes Recreation offers excellent fitness programs, but there are occasions when extra charges are levied. Spouses can purchase a membership either per term or per year. Please visit the Vikes Recreation website.

All retired UVic faculty or staff who have been regular members of the University Club for at least five years prior to retirement are eligible for a Retired (non-voting) membership at one-half of the dues of a Regular member.

Those UVRA members who do not qualify for the 50% reduction in dues may apply through the UVRA to become a retired (non-voting) member of the University Club at a dues rate of 75% of that of a regular member.   A retiree who maintains a membership for five years after retirement will then qualify for the 50% reduction. Details of University Club membership may be found on the University Club web site. Application forms for membership are available at the University Club. 

For more information on memberships or about the Club, please contact their Office Manager at 250-472-5302, or the General Manager, at 250-853-3509. If you prefer to visit the Club, their office is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. 

The UVRA Office can also arrange for you to try the Club for a lunch or a dinner before you decide to join. You will, of course, have to pay for your meal.

The UVic "ONECard" is available for retirees from UVic; it replaces your old "UVic Retiree" card. See: UVic ONECard for details.

The UVic ONECard is also the photographic ID card for official UVic retirees, as defined by HR (with a V number).
