In general
The Road Traffic Act applies to Wageningen Campus. In addition, on the WUR grounds on Wageningen Campus, the WUR terrain rules apply. On the WUR webpage Accessibility and parking, you can also find the most up-to-date campus map, showing all parking areas.
Cars
On Wageningen Campus, you may only park in the designated parking spaces. Anyone may park in any space, with the exception of spaces reserved for specific groups (such as visitors, suppliers, and people with disabilities).
P1 to P3 are WUR’s main parking lots. In P5 (Unilever), 240 spaces are available for WUR. To use P5, you must register, see below. From the WUR parking lots, it is a maximum 10-minute walk to a building.
If there are urgent reasons to park (temporarily) close to the building, please contact the building’s reception desk.
The Road Traffic Act applies to Wageningen Campus. You may therefore receive a fine for illegal parking.
Several parking spots on campus also have charging stations for electric cars. In the article ‘Travel and Transportation Options’, you will find an overview of electric-car charging stations.
Bikes
To ensure that emergency services can access the area easily, you must park your bike in the designated bike racks. You will find bike parking spaces at (almost) all buildings on campus. Bikes that are not parked in the racks or in the designated parking areas may be removed. For more information, see the article “Rules and regulations for campus buildings”.
Registering for the western entrance and the Unilever parking garage
Western entrance
Expected to open mid-May 2026; keep an eye on the news updates in Connections.
WUR employees can get access to the western entrance by registering their car's license plate number in Planon. You can do this yourself online via Facilities & Services Selfservice.
On the Self-Service page, you have to scroll down. You can find the license plate registration tile at the bottom of the page. When you want to enter your license plate number, first click on “edit.” Then you can enter your license plate number and click “submit.” After you have entered it, it will not appear in the field immediately. However, once you refresh the page, it will be added and visible. See also the screenshot below.
Each WUR employee can register a maximum of two license plates. Anyone who registers for access via the western entrance also automatically has access to the Unilever parking garage (P5). This also applies vice versa. Please note: After registering in Planon, it takes 48 hours (two working days) for access to the west entrance to be arranged.
When you register your license plate, you give permission for your license plate and account data to be shared with the software provider. Please refer to the attached Privacy Statement for the western entrance (in Dutch) on the right-hand side of this knowledge article.

Do WUR company vehicles and MyWheels have access to the west entrance?
We are currently working on registering company cars. Please check with your department’s company car administrator beforehand to see if the car has been registered.
The registration of MyWheels cars is not handled by WUR.
My car is already registered for the Unilever car park. Do I need to re-register it for the west entrance?
If your car's license plate already registered for the Unilever parking garage, you do not have to register again.
I’ve registered my car, but the barriers won’t open. What can I do?
Once you have registered in Planon, it takes 48 hours (two working days) for your registration to be processed and for you to gain access. Please contact the Facilities Service Desk if you still do not have access.
Unilever parking garage
The same registration procedure applies to the Unilever parking garage (P5). Access to the parking garage is based on license plate recognition. To use this garage, you must first register your car’s license plate as an employee. You can do this via the Selfservice Facilities. On the page in your user tile, click ‘Edit’.
Access pedestrian gate
For security reasons, the parking garage is secured with a pedestrian gate. After registration, you will receive a QR code for this pedestrian gate. You can save this code on your phone and scan it at the reader. Is the QR code not working? Call security via the intercom, and they will assist you.
Registering your license plate does not guarantee a parking spot. For WUR employees, there are 240 spots available in the Unilever parking garage. The sign at the entrance to the parking garage shows how many spots are still available for WUR employees and visitors.
Entry is permitted from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Exit is permitted until 10:30 PM. Overnight and on weekends, parking is not permitted in the parking garage.
If you would like to reserve a parking space for a campus visitor, please contact the reception desk of the Omnia building at 0317-484500.
