Student Car Parking and Travel 2010-11

 The University College has agreed to actively reduce single occupancy car journeys to the campus through increased use of car sharing, public transport and environmentally sustainable methods such as walking and cycling.  1200 car permits will be allocated to staff and students in 2010-11, with a further reduction proposed for 2011-12. 

This will mean that:

  • There will be no parking on campus without a valid car parking permit during the months of September to June inclusive, within the hours of 7.30 am to 5.30 pm.
  • Staff and students living within a 1.5 miles radius of the UC Chapel will not be eligible to apply for a car parking permit (unless you meet one of the criteria listed within the Policy, please click here for the Green Travel and Car Parking Policy 2010-11)
  • Car permit allocation will be prioritised for staff and students who live outside the following post codes; PL3, PL4, PL5,PL6, as these are within walking distance and/or well served by public transport.
  • Staff and UCP Marjon students will be encouraged to use public transport through the provision of significantly discounted bus passes, with weekly travel within the Plymouth area to cost no more than £5.00 per individual per week.  These will be available for you to purchase from the Main Reception when you are here, from September 2010 onwards.
  • Resident students who do not have a car on campus will be provided with a free bus pass for approximately one month from the period of enrolment (ie September to October 2010).
  • Applications for parking permits can be made from 23rd August onwards. Click here for the Permit Application form.
  • Eligible students will be charged a flat rate of £75 per annum (£25 per term for those on placements).
