A disabled badge and UoL parking permit must be clearly displayed in the vehicle when parked in a disabled parking bay and when parking in any category of parking bay between 03.00 and 06.00 hours. Students using UoL parking facilities between 06.00 and 16.30 hours Monday to Friday must also display a disabled badge and student parking permit, irrespective of the category of parking bay used. A disabled badge does not entitle staff, students or tenants to use service or visitor bays at any time or to use temporary accessible parking bays between 06.00 am and 10.00 am Monday to Friday.

A map of locations of the marked bays can be found at the end of this page. Spaces are reserved for electric vehicle charging until 10.30am Monday to Friday, and all day at weekends.

PodPoint users will also need to provide their own charging cable. More information on how to use the points can be found on the POD Point website(opens in a new tab). Please remember that you will need to display a valid parking permit while using the spaces. Student permits are valid after 1630hrs on weekdays and at weekends, and pay and display tickets after 1630hrs on weekdays and at weekends.

Following the addition of these charging points, and the transfer of pay and display parking operations to City of Lincoln Council, the University has made some updates to the University Car Parking Policy. All staff who park on campus should make themselves aware of the updated policy.

Visitor parking is extremely limited and is available only to those visiting UoL in an official capacity on university business. Visitor parking must be booked via a Security Request a minimum 24 hours in advance by a member of staff from the college or professional services department sponsoring the visit. A maximum of 5 visitor bays may be booked by a college or professional services department on any given day and bookings may be made up to one month in advance of the requirement. Designated visitor bays are marked with the letter V and the bay number. Visitors holding a disabled badge may use any disabled parking bay on the proviso visitor parking has been pre-booked and a disabled badge is clearly displayed in the vehicle. Any person entitled to hold a UoL parking permit or purchase UoL scratch cards is not entitled to use visitor parking bays.

Book a Visitors parking bay via a Security Request, choosing the description Security Request – Visitor Car Parking from the dropdown menu available.
