Clifton Campus (Precinct) car parking

 

Vehicle registration - 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. These pages provide information on car parking on the University’s main Precinct and satellite sites. Information on car parking at University Residences and at our Langford campus is available separately via the main car parking menu.

The Precinct Parking Policy Summary (PDF, 1,411kB)‌‌ is available to view. The policy defines the criteria and process by which parking permits will be allocated to University‌ staff (including car-sharers), disabled staff and students, departments, contractors and visitors. By parking at any of the car parks covered by the policy, users agree to abide by the University's Parking Terms and Conditions‌. ‌ Further information for visitors to the University is available on the Visitor Parking page‌.

Bristol's Clean Air Zone

Bristol's Clean Air Zone (CAZ) started on Monday 28 November 2022. Visit the CAZ page for advice on how the CAZ may affect your commuting and other private car journeys, and the exemptions and other support available from the council.


Users of university car parks on Clifton campus should pay special attention as the alignment of the CAZ boundary means daily charges will apply to non-compliant vehicles using some car parks e.g. Old Park Hill, but not others (subject to the access route taken).
