When you are submitting an application for a permit to park on campus, you will need to provide the following information: 

  • an active university email address (e.g. to0001@surrey.ac.uk)
  • your full name
  • your residential address (details will be checked against student records)
  • your car registration / make /model (no documents required). If you have your Vehicle Log Book (V5C) you can add it to your application, however it is not a requirement

Eligibility criteria does not apply if you live in private accommodation outside the GU1/GU2 postcode areas. 

If you do live locally within the GU1 or GU2 postcode areas, or are a resident in our Manor Park or Stag Hill campuses, you will also be asked to provide evidence of your need to able to park on campus including evidence of one or more of the following: 

  • Your university residential address (you can find this on your accommodation offer)
  • Evidence of childcare requirements
  • Evidence for caring responsibilities 
  • Evidence of placements for your course requirements 
  • If supported by the Disability and Neuroinclusion team please add notes to the permit application. Please do not attach any medical documents. 

All permit applications will be verified against student records to ensure that students are assigned the correct permit based on their registered residential address. If your permit type does not match your records, you may be contacted and asked to apply for the correct permit.
