Please be aware
If you apply to purchase a parking permit, this must be paid in full as a single payment at the STV reception and access to STV facilities will be restricted until payment is received. If you park a vehicle on campus, you must comply with the regulations and conditions for parking (click here to view). Parking permits expire on 31st July annually. Please be aware the University is introducing Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras for parking enforcement from summer 2026.
