Criteria

We offer two types of student parking permits: Campus permits and Halls permits.
Each permit has its own eligibility criteria, which must be met and evidenced as part of your application.
Please read the criteria carefully before you begin. You will be required to upload supporting evidence during the application process. We cannot process applications that do not include the necessary evidence.

Medical condition

If you are applying on the basis of a medical condition or a temporary incapacity, please complete a medical impact form.

We would encourage any student meeting these criteria to register with the University's Disability Advisory Service for other support whilst at University.
If you have a lifelong medical condition and you have previously submitted evidence to us in a past application, you do not need to provide it again. We reserve the right to ask for any additional information deemed appropriate.

If you meet the eligibility criteria and have evidence ready to upload, you may apply for a Student parking permit.

When to apply

You must apply for your campus permit as follows:

Per semester basis:

• Semester 1 - Prior to the Friday before welcome week [permit valid to xxx].
• Semester 2 - Application window runs from 1st Feb to 12th Feb [permit valid to 12th June].
• Semester 3 - Application window runs from the 1st June to 19th June [permit valid to 30th September].

If an annual parking permit is required, then Semesters 2 and 3 need to be selected.

We accept applications from new students, where their course starts part way through the academic year (October-September), within 10 days of the course entry date as specified by RISIS.
We can accept applications after the cut-off date if you have had a significant change of circumstance. Such changes of circumstance should be related to the existing criteria.

Please note that parking permits are not valid in car park 5 (Visitors car park), where separate parking arrangements apply.

There are dedicated disabled parking bays in every University car park.

Parking regulations

Parking at the University is subject to the Parking Regulations. Anyone infringing the regulations is likely to incur a parking charge notice of £75.

Parking charge notice - appeals

The procedure for appealing a Parking Charge Notice is outlined on the reverse of the Notice. You should in the first instance contact Total Parking Solutions.

Keeping your vehicle secure

Vehicle crime rates on campus are comparable to the rest of the Thames Valley area. You can reduce the risk of your vehicle being broken into by following these simple steps:

• Always lock your vehicle.
• Never leave any items on display.
• Remove all valuable items from your vehicle.
• Remove the fascia from any radio/stereo equipment.
• Remove all Sat Nav Equipment, including the holder.
• Do not leave your vehicle on campus overnight.
• Always use any security devices fitted to your car.
