Parking for disabled staff and students
Paperless parking permit enforcement will be active from Tuesday 1 October.
Please ensure you apply for a staff paperless parking permit or use visitor parking while parked on campus.
Parking enforcement is currently active for improper parking, e.g. parking on double-yellow lines or a loading bay, or in other prohibited areas as indicated by signage.
Blue Badge holders
If you have a disability and possess a government or council-issued , you can park for free without a University permit in any parking space on campus (including disabled parking spaces).
Blue Badge holders must register with the Transport Office via e-mail at transport@sef.fm with your name, e-mail address, role at the University, and vehicle registration number(s).
For a guide on where to find disabled parking bays, consult our campus map. Disabled parking spaces are listed in light blue next to car parks where they are available. Please do not park in reserved or designated disabled spaces (which are assigned to specific vehicles), as these are needed by staff working in nearby buildings.
University disabled permits
If you have health- or disability-related parking needs, you may be eligible to park on campus under standard parking charges. This may be for a permanent disability or for a temporary mobility issue, such as an injury or short-term condition. Only drivers with a Blue Badge can park in marked disabled bays.
-
Staff can contact their Line Manager to make a referral to the Occupational Health team for recommended reasonable adjustments in relation to their disability. Occupational Health will recommend appropriate reasonable adjustments to your working environment and/or working arrangements in a confidential report to your manager, and will also provide you with a University Disabled Parking Form. You will need to complete the relevant sections of the form and send it to the Transport Office at Transport@sef.fm.
- Students can apply for a disabled parking permit , if they are registered with the Disability Support team. Student disability permits are for standard parking bays only. Blue Badge holders have access to disabled spaces and do not need to request permission to park on campus. Please discuss any needs with your Disability Advisor.
