Apply for a halls parking permit

Application Process

We will begin to process halls applications for parking from 1^st July 2024. The closing date for student applications is 11.59pm on the Friday of Welcome week i.e. the week before the teaching term begins. For the 2024/25 academic year, the deadline is Friday 27th September 2024.

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.

Your application will be considered against the following qualifying criteria:

• Medical condition causing current mobility issues
• Temporary incapacity
• Course related requirements
• Extracurricular activities

Please note, if you are applying on the basis of a medical condition or a temporary incapacity, please  complete a Medical Impact Form. Please refer to the Halls Criteria for more information. 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.

For more information on the qualifying criteria please see the Halls Criteria. We expect suitable supporting evidence to be submitted at the time of the application or as soon as possible thereafter. Failure to provide the supporting evidence will render your application void.

Unsuccessful applicants may appeal the decision, noting the caveats below.

2024/2025 Charges:

Students with a valid disabled badge can apply for a free permit. Otherwise the costs are as follows:

• £35.00 per semester car permit
• £13.25 per annual motorcycle permit

Online payment details will be provided to successful applicants. The amount must be paid within ten working days. Failure to make payment will result in the permit being cancelled.

Should you no longer require your permit, we may be able to offer a refund against the remaining time on your permit. Such refunds are subject to an administration fee of £10. We will only process refunds on the return of your permit.

Parking on campus or in Halls without a valid permit will incur a parking charge notice of £75.

The iPermit:

The iPermit allows for more flexibility with student parking.

iPermits are available for 1 - 4 weeks only.

Please apply using the form below. The same criteria for permit applications apply and supporting evidence is required. You may apply for an iPermit at any time during the year, but you must apply at least 1 week before the permit is required and the permit needs to be displayed in your vehicle windscreen. 

• £12.50 for 1 - 4 weeks

Appeal Process
