How do I get a parking permit?

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.

Applications for a Permit can be made using the CPP Parking Eye Permit System. For the majority of users there are two car permit options to choose from, Pay As You Go and Pay Monthly.

If you choose the Pay As You Go option, you can either top up your account or request payment to be taken directly from your bank account of choice. For those visiting campus more frequently, there is also the option to pay a reduced fee on a monthly basis which is called Pay Monthly.

Pay As You Go

If you select the Pay As You Go system, you can keep your credit topped up via your Evology Autopay web account. Instructions for how to access Evology will become clear upon successful completion of your permit application. Credit will be automatically deducted after your vehicle exits the car parks each day. The cost of parking is per day, so if you travel between Manor Park, Kate Granger or Stag Hill you will only pay the daily rate of £2.

Pay Monthly

If you select the Pay Monthly option, you will get an email reminder every month to pay for the next month's worth of parking. This will all be done via the use of the Evology parking app in the "Pre Book" section.

Students living on campus

If you are a student living in university owned accommodation, you will need to select the Manor Park/Stag Hill Resident permit type.

The Campus Services team assess each application against the criteria and will respond to the application with an outcome and next steps.
