At the park, parking is only allowed in the parking building () or on designated parking spaces (). You can validate/pay your ticket when leaving the park the payment machines at the exit barriers or in the parking building.
Parking on the shoulder or on not designated parking places is illegal and infringements will result in a €50 increase in the parking fee (including VAT).
This means a fine on top of the applicable hourly rate for vehicles parked in undesignated parking spaces. The owner of the vehicle must immediately pay this fine at one of the parking payment machines on the site. Without payment it will not be possible to leave the park with the vehicle.

Public transport

There are frequent trains from Brussels airport to Gent (mostly with a change of trains in Brussels). You can plan your journey on the web site of the Belgian Railway (NMBS). 
 Trains arrive at St-Pieters station in Gent. There are taxis available at the main exit of the station. Alternatively you can a bus from the following list:

Shuttle Service

The shuttle busses run every 15 minutes between 7u30 and 9u30 in the morning, and between 16u30 and 18u30 in the evening. When boarding the bus, tell the driver you're a visitor for the university.
