PARKING PERMITS AND PAYMENT 

Parking charges are much cheaper when you register your car.  To get the registered rate, you'll need to buy a permit. You'll then also need to pay a daily parking charge. 
 
If you're not registered and you decide to park on campus, you'll need to pay the full visitor rate. 

If you're a new student, you can register your car around seven days before your course starts. Current students can register a vehicle at any time during the year. You will only be permitted one parking permit.  

TERM PARKING LIMIT 

 you register your car; you need to choose and pay for a permit. You'll also need to decide how you want to pay for daily parking charges. 

A termly season ticket costs £54 per term (£25 for those living in South Courts or The Meadows). For the duration of the term the permit: 

• covers the cost of the permit 

• gives you unlimited daily parking 

This option is ideal if you plan to come onto campus frequently, or if you don't want to have to remember to pay for parking every time you arrive. 

There are no charges out of term time for registered vehicles. Unregistered vehicles must pay the full visitor tariff. 

GENERAL PERMIT AND PAY BY THE HOUR 

With this option, you: 

• register and pay for a 'General' permit which is £31.79 per year. 

• pay 18p per hour each time you come onto campus to park (minimum stay 4 hours - 72p, a full day is £1.26) 

This option is ideal if you're occasionally coming onto campus with your car, or if you just want maximum flexibility.
