Outwith these times and at weekends, vehicles parking on campus will not require a permit and parking will be free of charge on our Gilmorehill and Garscube campuses.

No visitor permits will be issued for parking at Tay House due to restrictions in building access.

All visitors will be directed to designated visitor parking bays on arrival at the University. All visitors parking MUST be within the designated visitor parking bays, or they may be subject to a Parking Notice Charge (PCN).

For special events being held at the University, specific parking arrangements can be organised. Please contact the Car Parking team for more information.

The Car Parking team will send you details on how to create an account, log on and book a space. External visitors can book either a half-day or full-day, as noted above. Spaces are subject to availability and charges will apply.

Booking Larger Visitor Vehicles on Campus

Due to certain height and width restrictions at the entrances to campus, we are limited to the size of vehicles that can be booked. If you wish to book a visitor space but the vehicle is larger than a standard car, you must contact our Car Parking team first, so we can review the request with our colleagues.
