As some health based courses are variable and do not follow the recognised semester timetable, Permits for students on these courses will be charged a daily rate to ensure a fair charging structure. Based on the current rates, the price will be £1.47 per day.

Please note a minimum of 8 days per application is required, students with fewer days on campus each Semester are advised to use Pay and Display parking, available on Harrington and Victoria 2.

How do I apply?

Please complete the online application below and ensure that all fields are completed. Your eligibility will be checked along with your online timetable against the days requested.
Permits are valid for one semester only - a new application must be made for each semester you require a permit.

Permits will be available for collection from The <i>, Library Ground Floor.On collection, your Permit must be displayed in your vehicle immediately and must be clearly visible in your windscreen at all times. Failure to display your permit will result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued with a charge of £80 payable, reduced to £40 if paid within 14 days.

Appeals Process

Permits are strictly controlled due to the limited space available on campus and are therefore allocated on a first come, first served basis.
An appeal against any of the decisions can be made, in writing, to CParking@uclan.ac.uk. All decisions on Permit allocation are final.

Car Share Scheme

UCLan operates a car share scheme, which is aimed at reducing solo car commuting to campus. The scheme offers a 50% reduction in Permit costs and dedicated car sharing bays on University car parks when you and up to 2 additional drivers share a permit.
All participants of the Car Share Scheme must be eligible to apply for a permit in their own right to qualify for the discount set out below (i.e. all passengers must use their vehicle to travel to campus). Providing lifts to passengers who would not normally drive to campus or who are not eligible for a permit (as set out above) does not qualify as a Car Share arrangement, as the number of vehicles on campus is not being reduced. Car share Permits are only allowable within the same eligibility criteria.
One car share Permit will be issued per application. If changes to the Permit are required, the old Permit must be returned to The <i> before a new one will be issued.

Car Share Permit costs	Semester 1 17/9/18 - 18/1/19	Semester 2 21/1/19 - 24/5/19	Semester 3 27/5/19 - 31/8/19
5 Days	£62.48	£62.48	£47.78
4 Days	£49.98	£49.98	£38.22
3 Days	£37.49	£37.49	£28.67
2 Days	£24.99	£24.99	£19.11
1 Day	£12.50	£12.50	£9.56

Evening and weekends are free of charge.

Payment is to be made online. On receipt of a valid application, you will receive email confirmation with instructions and the link for how to pay and the price of the permit you have selected.
