CAR PARKING GUIDE
Where to Park — Car
Coming to the Language Center｜Recommended Parking
When driving to the Language Center for class, we recommend first looking for legal roadside parking along the white line on Daxue West Road (大學西路), free of charge.
First Choice
Legal Roadside Parking along the White Line on Daxue West Road
No Need to Drive onto Campus Park and Walk to Class
After parking, walk to the General Building (綜合大樓).
Need On-campus Parking?｜Car Entry and Parking
If you cannot find a suitable space near Daxue West Road, or need another parking option due to rain or other circumstances, you can use paid on-campus parking. Members of the public and visitors should follow the procedure below and complete visitor registration at the Main Gate before entering campus.
Members of the public and visitors should enter and leave through the Main Gate. Follow the lane signs, drive into the central license-plate recognition zone and stop, then complete visitor registration.
If you need to drive onto campus, arrive at the Main Gate and follow the lane signs to drive into the central license-plate recognition zone in front of the barrier and stop. Once stopped, scan the visitor registration QR code next to the Guard Station or open the Visitor Online Registration Website below to enter your details. After registration, wait for the system to recognize your plate and open the barrier before driving onto campus.
Important: You do not need to fill in your details before arriving. First drive into the central recognition zone and stop, then complete visitor registration.
1 Drive into the Central Recognition Zone
At the Main Gate, follow the lane and on-site signs to enter the central license-plate recognition zone in front of the barrier and stop.
2 Complete Visitor Registration after Stopping
After stopping, scan the QR code next to the Guard Station or open the website below and enter your license plate, name, phone number and destination.
3 Wait for Recognition before Entering
After submitting registration, wait for plate recognition and the barrier to open. Once on campus, proceed to the building and classroom in your current notice and park in a legal car parking space.
On-campus Parking Payment｜XY-PAY Recommended
If you park on campus and a parking fee is due, there are two main payment options. We recommend XY-PAY online payment, which lets you pay before leaving your parking space.
Online Payment
XY-PAY Online Payment
Supported Methods
Enter your license plate number, choose a payment method and complete payment.
Cash / On-site Payment
Automatic Payment Machine at the Main Gate Exit
Supported Methods
The automatic payment machine is at the Main Gate exit. Follow the screen instructions to enter your license plate and pay.
The Guard Station Does Not Collect Parking Fees
The Guard Station does not provide a parking-fee collection service. For regular parking, use the Automatic Payment Machine at the Main Gate Exit or XY-PAY Online Payment.
Exceptions during Large Events
Only during certain large campus events on holidays may organizers arrange temporary staff. Student workers may then collect, outside the Guard Station, an event parking fee of NT$50 per car. This is a temporary measure during the event, not collection by the Guard Station. Follow the event arrangements and on-site notices that day.
For XY-PAY Users: Pay before leaving your parking space, then drive to the exit. Do not stop in front of the exit barrier to use your phone.
