Undergraduate students are not eligible for a parking permit unless they meet one of the following criteria:
Postgraduate students and other students commuting from outside of Southampton whom are not eligible to apply for a permit to park on an academic site may apply for a permit to park at our offsite Montefiore Non-Residents Car Park, at Wessex Lane Halls of Residence, SO18 2NU. There is a regular Unilink bus service from Wessex Lane to Highfield, Avenue and Boldrewood Campuses. Alternatively, Highfield Campus is a 15-20 minute walk.
If you do not have a parking permit for academic sites you are not authorised to park onsite, unless it is in the Pay and Display car park on Highfield Campus and displaying a ticket from one of the machines provided.
