Student Parking Certificates

If I receive a Student Parking Certificate, where can I park?

You will receive one of the following parking certificates:

N COVID-19 'clinically extremely vulnerable group' permit Car parks marked "F" and "G" car parks at warwick.ac.uk/services/carparks/where

When should I apply?

You can submit an application at any time in the academic year. All parking certificates must be re-applied for each academic year and will not automatically renew. They must be displayed at all times when parking on campus.

When will I hear back from you?

During academic year 2020/21, applications will be considered on a fortnightly basis, so you should expect to hear back within 21 days.

In some cases, we may reply asking for you to confirm details or provide extra evidence.

If a Student Parking Certificate is not approved, can I appeal against the decision?

No, the decision is final. Unfortunately, we are unable to engage in any appeals process.

Do I need a Student Parking Certificate to park on campus overnight?

No, please see the new arrangements for overnight parking on campus.

How much does it cost?

We currently issue certificates at the equivalent price of the low-rate staff permit. Charges are reviewed on an annual basis.

Does a Student Parking Certificate guarantee me a parking space?

A Student Parking Certificate will not provide you with a designated parking space and it does not guarantee that a parking space will be available. It gives you access to the existing general, unrestricted parking on a 'first come, first served' basis. You are not entitled to park in a disabled bay without displaying a valid Blue Badge.

Does a Student Parking Certificate mean I can park near my accommodation?

No. A Student Parking Certificate provides access to the listed car parks only, which all operate on a first come first served basis.

What happened to the "Off-site placement or regular off-site studying" category?

This former category was only applicable to 1st and 2nd year MBChBs. To streamline the process, these students can now apply for a permit via MBChB permits page
