Dear Students and Colleagues,
1. Clean-up program towards discarded and improperly parked bicycles throughout campus
In order to maintain the orderliness of campus environment, make good use of resources, and avoid public space occupancy and safety hazard caused by discarded bicycles, STS plans to clear the above mentioned bicycles on a yearly basis, with schedule listed below:

Southern District | 7/12/2020-18/12/2020 |
Western District | 7/12/2020-31/12/2020 |
Security team will check the bicycles parked on campus according to the above schedule and place notices on the bicycles that meet any of the following criteria:

Bicycle owners should remove the above bicycles prior to the deadline stated on the notice. Should the owners fail to contact our office or timely move away their bicycles within the designated time period, the involved bicycles will be impounded to our warehouse for temporary custody.
Owners can visit the Security Centre (E7-G003c) during office hours (Mondays to Fridays, 9:00am - 1:00pm, 2:00pm - 5:45pm) to make an inquiry or claim back the bicycles by presenting a valid bicycle receipt, photo, bicycle permit number and the right keys to the bicycle locks. If the impounded bicycles are not claimed for over a year, they will be processed as lost items. Please contact Security Centre at 8822 4126 for any doubt.
2. Voluntary recycle and re-use of bicycle program
As a platform to encourage recycle use of bicycles, a voluntary bicycle recycling program has been launched. The bicycle owners shall complete the registration form for voluntary bicycle disposal in Security Centre (E7-G003c) during office hours. Meanwhile, interested parties for re-using recycled bicycles could raise their request or make the reservation by calling 8822 4126 for query or further arrangement.
3. Bicycle registration system
Each self-brought bicycle should be registered with the Security and Transport Section. The registration of your personal bicycles can help identifying bicycles in use on campus. It also serves as a proof for bicycle owner. The applicants should submit the completed registration form with a color photo of bicycle to STS. Upon completion of registration, a permit will be placed on your bicycle for identification. Below please find the application procedures:
- Download the application form from the website (https://sts.cmdo.um.edu.mo/request-forms/) or get it from the Security Centre (E7-G003c);
- Send the completed application via email to sts.bicycle@um.edu.mo;
- Upon receipt of STS's notification, bring your Student Card/Staff Card and bicycle to the Security Centre in person for collecting the bicycle permit.
Should you have any inquiries, please contact Security Centre at 8822 4126.
Thank you for your attention.
Best Regards,
Security and Transport Section |
