Key Points

  • Between 8.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday a valid parking permit must be displayed on the front windscreen of all vehicles parked on any University grounds.
  • A valid vehicle excise licence must be displayed at all times.
  • The issue of a permit does not guarantee a parking space or confer any rights other than to park temporarily in a designated car park or other authorised area.
  • It is the University’s policy to maximise use of the car parks by issuing more permits than there are spaces available.
  • BU reserves the right to refuse permit holders access to a variable number of spaces in a car park from time to time, in order to accommodate bona fide visitors and special events.
  • New staff to BU will receive a parking permit application form from Human Resources with their contract information.

Permits may be switched between vehicles as required, but please ensure all vehicles are registered. Future vehicle changes should be notified to any main Reception desk.
