Students and staff who are not part of the UU permit scheme, and visitors can access UU car parks at the applicable hourly parking rate. Visitor rates apply at the Derry~Londonderry campus (DLD).
There are two options for payment:
Payment at barrier on exit
When entering the car park, press take a ’ticket' option on the terminal screen at the barrier. The Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system will read your number plate, the barrier will lift and your car can access the car park (no actual ticket is given). On exit, the system will recognise your number plate, calculate the parking charge, and display the amount due on the terminal screen. Payment can be made using a card or mobile payment device. Once payment is complete, the barrier will lift automatically.
Derry~Londonderry campus: Students and staff should scan their University ID card at the exit terminal before making payment to ensure the applicable student or staff hourly tariff is applied.
Paystation
When entering the car park, press take a ’ticket' option on the terminal screen at the barrier. The ANPR system will read your number plate, and your car can access the car park (no actual ticket is given). Before exiting, enter your vehicle registration number at a pay station and pay the applicable parking charge using a card or mobile payment device. Once payment has been made, the barrier will automatically lift when you exit.

Ticket Entry
If your vehicle number plate is not read, there will be an option on the terminal display screen to press a button for a ticket. Once the ticket button is pressed, the barrier will open. There are two options to pay as above.
UU Car Parking Permit Scheme
University students and staff, including associate/contract staff, can apply for a permit to become a member of the UU Car Parking Scheme. The application process will register your vehicle details and link your permit to the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system at the car park entrance.
If you use more than one vehicle to access the University, all vehicles should be registered against your permit. A maximum of two vehicles can be registered. If your vehicle is registered on the system, the barrier will lift automatically when you enter and exit the car park.
If you are using a vehicle that is not registered or linked to your permit, your Staff/Student ID card can be used for entrance and exiting the barrier.
A number of flexible methods of payment are available.
Staff annual permit
- £75 for those up to and including spinal point 23.

Important
Permits can be activated within 48 hours of payment.
Permit holders are responsible for ensuring that their vehicle registration details are accurate and kept up to date. More than one vehicle can be registered on the system (a maximum of 2). Keeping vehicle details up to date will help ensure that the ANPR system correctly identifies the vehicle and provides access. Failure to maintain accurate vehicle registration details may result in access delays or additional parking charges.
If you forget your student/staff ID card and using a vehicle not registered to your permit there is no alternative other than to pay a hourly/daily tariff for that visit/day.
There is no way to obtain entry/exit other than using ANPR, a permit/proximity card or hourly/daily tickets and credit cards.
All drivers must be in possession of a relevant, valid driving licence for the vehicle they are driving.
All vehicles and drivers must be covered by relevant and adequate insurance cover at all times.
All vehicles using the University car parks must display a number plate that complies with the relevant legal requirements. Drivers are advised to use standard, legally compliant number plates to ensure the best possible recognition by the ANPR system and to avoid potential issues with access.
The system incorporates anti-abuse measures which prevent cards/ANPR being used more than once in any direction without having been used in the opposite direction in between i.e. your card/number plate cannot be used for entry unless it has been used to exit beforehand. Also cards will only operate when a car is present at the barrier.
All car park users are expected to fully co-operate with the Car Park and Traffic Management Office /University Security Staff to achieve the aims and objectives of this car parking policy.
Failure to comply with the agreed car parking arrangements, and where there are no mitigating circumstances, will be treated as a misconduct issue and the appropriate action taken by informing the relevant Provost/Faculty Dean/Department Director.
Tariff Increases
Tariff increases are governed by the Ulster University, who reserve the right to vary tariffs giving one months’ notice.
Any changes will be publicised before coming into effect.
