Use of the carpark is restricted to permit holders during the following periods:
September 1 - May30, Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:30pm
Outside of these times, users do not require a permit.
Single Day Permit
Staff and students who would normally be using other means of transport, may have occasional need to bring a car. To facilitate this there is a day parking pass available from finance or the main reception. The day pass "scratchcard" costs £4 and can be purchased in advance. The pass must be displayed so it can be clearly seen on the dashboard of the car, and filled in completely.
Annual Permit
There are 5 types of annual permit available to Staff & Students. The 3 below are applied for directly by staff and students
While the 2 below are organised and paid for by departments for partciular job roles.
Permits must be applied for fresh each year. If a permit is surrendered for any reason may be eligible for a pro-rata refund.
General Permits are allocated on the basis of need, calculated (as points) against specific criteria, such as distance and availability of public transport, or adult or child care needs. Students living in on-campus accommodation will not be permitted to park on campus as stipulated in their lease agreement unless exceptional circumstances apply. E.g. students on placement may be allowed for the length of their placement to park on campus. Charges will apply.
Permits are charged on a sliding scale based on vehicle engine carbon profile. Permit costs will be pro-rated for part-time staff.
In response to student feedback, we have created a single semester permit, which is particularly useful for those students who are on campus for half of the year and on placement the other half. Semester one permits will be issued from 1st September - 31st January. Semester 2 Permits will be issued from 1st January - 31st May.

Carshare: Cost of permit - £100/Group
As part of our commitment to reducing the environmental impact
of vehicular access to the campus, QMU has
invested in a car sharing scheme. It aims to: reduce the impact of single car occupancy on the local environment, offer staff and students an alternative to lone driving wherever
possible, and utilise QMU’s limited car parking resources as efficiently as possible.
- When permits are allocated, priority will be given to those who choose to car
share. Car sharing is defined as when two or more registered drivers share the
journey to and from QMU by car. Individuals wishing to car share should register
online (QMU Car Share)
**Driving with non car owner passengers does not
constitute car share, as they would otherwise be using public transport.
- Individuals who are members of an external car share group will be issued
ordinary permits, if appropriate, as part of the general permit scheme for staff and
students, they would not qualify for QMU car share permits.
- One person must be the primary applicant of the carshare. They will need to submit the application and provide verification documents for all members.
- A single permit and "smartcard" will be provided per group. There is a £10 charge for replacements.
- A number of spaces in row C of the carpark are reserved only for carshare permit holders.
Continue to the Permit application procedure.
Disabled Permits
Staff and Students where a disability dictates that they
must drive and cannot use any other form of transport should apply for a permit prior to commencing employment or study, and should indicate
requirement for parking space. There is no charge for disabled permits, though a £10 admin fee will be applied for a replacement permit.
A temporary disabled permit may be issued to individuals, where considered
appropriate, who have temporary need to be close to the entrance of the building
for health/injury reasons.
- Permits issued are for the benefit of the person who has the disability
only and are not transferable.
- Permit holders should only park in the appropriate bays allocated for
disabled permits.
- Where a disabled permit holder has a regular helper/driver, rather than
drive themselves, that driver may qualify for a 50% reduction in their
personal permit price.
Continue to the Permit application procedure.
Shift Permits
In certain cases, such as
shift workers there will be a shift permit paid for and retained by the department,
in recognition of the lower frequency of public transport provision during certain
times of day.
Essential Business User Permits
An essential user is a member of staff whose duties require extensive offsite
travel, that is, virtually every day. Nomination as an essential user will be
contingent upon verifiable data supplied by the departments and on request of
manager. Provision of City Car Club cars will be made available for staff who
make frequent trips off campus for work e.g. 2 or 3 times a week. Essential user
permits are charged at £100 which cost will be borne by the user’s department.
