The Directorate of Student Affairs (DSA) at the University of the Punjab has clarified that university students are exempt from paying parking or toll entry charges at the university’s entry points.
In a statement issued through its official social media account, the DSA stated that the university had already issued multiple notifications regarding the exemption.

To ensure smooth entry and avoid arguments or confrontations, students are advised to simply present their valid Student Identification Cards.
In cases where a contractor or toll collector charges a student despite proper identification, the DSA urges students to report the incident immediately.

The DSA further warned that if authorities establish that a contractor charged a properly identified student, the contractor will face a heavy fine from the Office of Resident Officer-I.
The DSA urged students to cooperate, carry their Student Identification Cards, and report any violations through the designated channels.
