Can I bring my car to campus?

If you are a student who resides on campus or in the GU1 or GU2 postcode areas, parking permits are limited and subject to strict eligibility criteria. Parking applications are reviewed based on the information provided by applicants. 

Criteria for parking eligibility:

• Proven medical need: applicants with documented medical conditions requiring close proximity parking
• Evidenced caring or childcare commitments: consideration for those with verifiable caregiving or childcare responsibilities
• Work and course requirements: includes students with shift work.

If you live outside of the exclusion zone (GU1 and GU2 postcode), and are able to upload a copy of your vehicle log book (V5C), there is a strong possibility that you will be granted a permit to park.

You can use the guidance available to help you with your application. If you think you are eligible, you can apply for a permit using the CPP Parking Eye Permit System. The Campus Services team assess each application against the criteria and will respond to the application with an outcome and next steps. 

You may be rejected on first attempt. Do not worry, please "Appeal" the outcome with the appropriate evidence outlined above and your application will be considered. Without a permit, parking must be in Pay and Display car parks.

Thank you for adhering to these guidelines and ensuring fair access to parking for all eligible students.
