Car Parking Arrangements 2021/22

Normally at this time of year all staff who wish to secure a car parking space for the following academic year would be invited to submit an application. However, given the ongoing concerns regarding Covid, and the message from the Principal that working from home continues to be advised for most staff, it is felt that this is not the right time to ask staff to decide whether they wish to apply for an annual parking permit.

Since April 2020 car parking charges have been suspended and staff authorised to work on campus have been able to sign up for a car parking space, based on a no guarantee, ‘right to roam’ model. These arrangements will be extended until the end of Semester 1.

The number of people on campus and using the car parks is being monitored on an ongoing basis and to date, usage levels remain well within capacity. This will continue to be monitored going forward and a review is planned for mid-semester. Once the review is complete, a further communication will be issued, which will include the arrangements for Semester 2.

In the meantime, we would urge all staff who are authorised to return to campus, to ensure they have registered to use the car parks via:

Experiencing problems with your staff card?

If you’re experiencing problems with accessing University car parks using your staff card, please inform us as soon as possible. It is important to swipe your card every time you use the car parks so that we can monitor demand on parking. Security Operatives on campus can give you access to a car park if needed, but if you are regularly experiencing problems with your staff card it is important you contact the Car Parking team at carparking@strath.ac.uk

Visit the Travelling to Campus page for more updates.

Staff Permits

All staff are entitled to apply for a parking permit. You will need to re-apply for a permit each year.

Submit your application via the Pegasus application form. We can only accept paper applications from staff who do not have access to Pegasus.

There are around 430 parking spaces on campus. When we receive more applications than there are spaces, a ballot is run. We receive approximately 800 applications for parking each year. Unsuccessful applicants are added to the waiting list.

Costs for annual permits

Cars: £514.29 per annum (£42.85 per month)
Motorcycles: £70.69 (£5.89 per month)

The cost is deducted from salary in arrears.
