Car parking

Students living in Halls of Residence

Students with cars who want to park at their Halls of Residence must apply for a Residential Permit. This permit allows free parking at their contracted Halls of Residence, but is not valid for car parks on the teaching campuses.

Students who live in Halls of Residence must pay the standard rate to use the University's pay and display parking.

Students living in private accommodation

Students who do not live in Halls of Residence can apply for a University parking permit to pay the reduced rate for pay and display parking. The reduced rate is currently 20p per hour up to a maximum of £1 per day.

Students who do not have a University parking permit will be required to pay the standard pay and display rate of £1.30 per hour.

Student Blue Badge

Parking is free to students holding a Local Authority Blue Badge although they must also display a University Blue Badge permit.

Students who are not Council/Local Authority Blue Badge holders must contact disability support prior to applying for a permit.

How to apply for a car parking permit

Please go to the Facilities website to apply for all student park parking permits.

Students who do not have a University parking permit will be required to pay the standard pay and display rate of £1.30 per hour.
