Parking

Students may purchase an annual parking permit to park at Lancaster Campus. Permits are available via the University’s parking provider Excel Parking, at the link here. Please note that a permit does not necessarily guarantee you a parking space, as there are times when parking is extremely limited on campus.

Temporary Disabled Parking Permits are available for resident students who have a disability, in which case you should contact Disability Services in the first instance who will liaise with Campus Services to provide a permit if deemed appropriate.

Students may park their vehicles for free on campus after 17:00pm and before 08.00am weekdays and all weekend.

We also provide cashless pay and display parking on Lancaster Campus; however this could prove expensive to use on a regular basis.  

Unless you need a car for your course, we strongly recommend that you don’t bring one with you.

Any cars parked on campus will be at the owner’s own risk.

BRAMPTON ROAD CAMPUS

Student parking is available for free on Brampton Road campus weekdays and weekends, although a permit is required through Excel Parking Services. To apply you need to register via this link.

Due to the limited parking on campus, we would strongly recommend that students do not bring cars with them.

Any cars parked on campus are at the owner’s own risk.

FUSEHILL STREET

Student parking permits are NOT available at Fusehill Street Campus.

Temporary Disabled Parking Permits are available for resident students who have a disability, in which case you should contact Disability Services in the first instance who will liaise with Campus Services to provide a permit if deemed appropriate.

We provide cashless pay and display parking on Fusehill Street Campus; however this could prove expensive to use on a regular basis and parking is extremely limited during the week.

We would strongly recommend that students do not bring cars with them.

Free student parking is allowed on campus after 6.00pm and before 8.00am weekdays and all weekend. Any cars parked on campus are at the owner’s own risk.

There are a limited number of car parking permits available at Our Lady of Perpetual Help off site car park (about 10 minutes’ walk from the campus) allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Permits cost £35 per month. To apply please use this link.

A very small number of student annual parking permits are available to purchase at Ambleside Campus (50 in total). These permits go live at the beginning of September and are based on a first come first served basis, this is due to extremely limited availability. You can apply for a permit via this link, for the avoidance of doubt and to avoid disappointment please be aware that they will sell out very quickly and the University does not have an alternative car parking provider to offer at this time. Therefore, unless you need a car for your course, we would strongly recommend that you don't bring one with you.

Parking on nearby residential streets is prohibited.
