Disabled Parking and Parking Requirements Related to Health or Mobility

Staff and students who have had their disability recognised by the issue of a Blue Badge or an EU Model Parking Card do not pay for parking at the University. However, you must still apply for a valid permit for the areas in which you wish to park.

Permit Types

A valid parking permit must be active for the vehicle in use, therefore an application for a disabled parking permit must be made.

Staff and students who wish to park within any University car park should apply for a Disabled Permit which will give access to all areas.

How To Apply

Staff and students should submit an application and upload a copy of their disabled badge or EU Model Parking Card.

Parking Required for Reasons Related to Health or Mobility for Non-Registered Disabled Staff

Staff members who are not eligible for a Blue Badge, but who require access to parking facilities related to health or mobility, and feel special consideration should be given, should contact the University Occupational Health Unit and complete a self referral form online. OHS will provide the Parking Office with an assessment of needs.
