Student parking permit

Residential parking permit

If you are living in University owned Halls of Residence and have queries about parking please contact gateway@hope.ac.uk or visit the Gateway desk at Hope Park. 

The University actively discourages residential students from bringing cars onto the campus as it reduces the spaces available for those with genuine reasons to commute to the campus.

Permit allocations will only be made to Residential students in the following circumstances:

Students who are a Blue Badge Holder.

Student who require a car to attend placement as part of their academic course.

*Please note - students who do not satisfy the above criteria should not apply for a residential permit as they cannot be authorised.

If you meet the criteria to apply for a Residential Parking Permit you will need to complete the Residential Parking Permit Application through the Online Store for Authorisation.

If you choose to pay in full an email will be sent to you containing a payment link, and once completed the permit will be emailed to you.

If you choose to pay by way of an initial payment of £50 followed by 3 monthly instalments of £50 the team will contact you to set up the payment plan and email you a payment link for the initial £50. Once completed the permit will be emailed to you.

Charges for student parking

Day students

If you are a day student and have queries about parking please contact parking@hope.ac.uk 

Annual Parking Permits for day students must now be purchased directly from the Online Store and full payment of £60 will be required by Credit or Debit card. Once you have completed the Online Store process you will receive a confirmation email and a “self-print” parking permit. Printing the permit is now your responsibility and it must be clearly displayed in the front windscreen of your vehicle.

To purchase a Student Parking permit online please visit the Liverpool Hope University Online Store.

The misuse of the “self-print” parking permit is seen as fraud and strictly forbidden. The University will invoke disciplinary procedures against any student who misuses the parking permit.

Student Blue Badge holders

Blue Badge holders can access any disabled parking space on campus. You do not need to purchase a ticket. Please display your council issued blue badge in your car at all times.

Disabled parking at the Creative Campus must be booked in advance. For further information please email kerryd1@hope.ac.uk

Temporary mobility parking

Any student who has a temporary need to access a disabled parking bay, but does not qualify for a Blue Badge, will need to complete the Student Temporary Mobility Parking Application Form and provide written medical evidence by email to kerryd1@hope.ac.uk and a decision will be communicated whether or not to grant a Temporary Mobility Parking Permit as soon as possible.

All student permits are valid for an academic year (September to August) and you will need to re-apply every year.

If you change your vehicle, you must update your parking permit to reflect this change. Please email parking@hope.ac.uk to request an updated permit.
