Does everyone need to apply or reapply for a parking permit?

If you are looking to park on campus, you will need to apply or reapply for a parking permit with the new system, even if you previously had been approved for a parking permit.

If you already have a parking permit and have not done so already, you will need to reapply in advance of the new parking permit systems that will be in operation from September 2024.

Parking for students who reside on campus (or within the GU1 and GU2 postcode areas) is limited and subject to strict eligibility criteria. Parking applications are reviewed based on the information provided by applicants. The Campus Services team assess each application against the criteria and will respond to the application with an outcome and next steps.

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.

Applications for a permit can be made using the CPP Parking Eye Permit System.
