NOTICE TO ALL UNIVERSITY PARKING PERMIT HOLDERS (EXCEPT DEPARTMENTAL) Please note that if you have more than one vehicle registered on your University parking permit, you MUST ensure that the correct vehicle is active on your permit BEFORE parking on campus. To switch the active vehicle on your permit, log on to your online parking account, select ‘history & vehicle updates’ on the home page and click on the green vehicle icon against your permit. Access the parking permit system here. Failure to ensure the vehicle you wish to park on campus is both registered and active on your permit may result in enforcement action. For further information please see our parking terms and conditions. |
Limited car parking is available at locations across the University for those unable to travel on foot, by bike or by public transport.
