The University is not obliged to provide parking facilities on campus. However, there is limited parking available under certain circumstances for staff. Student parking is available on campus for blue badge holders and under some circumstances, including where medical conditions necessitate the provision of a permit.   

The campus car park is controlled by automatic barriers and access is only granted to permit holders. Permits are stored electronically on UCA Identity Cards, which can be swiped against barrier card readers to gain access.

Annual parking permits are available for a fee of £10. The fee is non-refundable and is fixed at £10, regardless of whether the permit is provided at the beginning of the academic year or any time thereafter up to and including the last day of the academic year.

Parking permits provide the user with access to the car parks, but do not guarantee a parking space with daily access on a first come first served basis. When all spaces are occupied, it is the individual's responsibility to find parking off campus.

Public Car Parks

There are also local public car parks within walking distance of the University. See link below for full details.
