A small number of reserved car parking spaces are available primarily for guests/visitors at each campus.
These spaces are available on a first come first served basis. Users of these reserved car parks will still have to take a ticket at campus entrances and either pay the tariff at the Pay-on-Foot station or have their ticket validated by their host.
Reserved spaces for visitors or staff can be requested using Reserved Parking
Only nominated representatives within each department / faculty have access to make the reserved parking booking on Invida. Please email carparks@ulster.ac.uk to find out details of the nominated staff member(s).
Spaces should ideally be requested at least 3 working days in advance of when they are required and no later than 1 working day.
Only travelling members of staff are entitled to reserve car parking for their own use.
An E-ticket will be issued to the individual making the reservation, within 48 hours of the request being accepted. This ticket allows access into the reserved parking area and should be passed on to the person using the car park.
Parking charges still apply to reserved parking, with the exception of Belfast.
Owing to the limited spaces set aside for reserved parking the upper limit that can be reserved for any single event/day is as follows:
| Location | Spaces |
|---|---|
| Belfast (Frederick St Car Park) | 10 |
| Belfast (Curtis St /Block BA) | 3 |
| Coleraine | 19 |
| Jordanstown | 37 |
| Derry~Londonderry | 14 |
See changes above to maximum number of spaces which can be reserved for any single event/day per campus.
Remote Validators
Senior Officers, Faculties and Departments who have frequent visitors and who wish to bear the costs of their guests have the option using a remote validation process.
Parking sessions should be validated for guests only and should never be validated for University staff or students. Anyone persisting in this practice will be subject to the University's disciplinary procedures.
The host will instruct their guest to enter the car park as any other guest/occasional user, but rather than going to a Pay-on-Foot station before returning to their vehicle, the host approves their guest’s parking session through the remote validation programme and this enables the visitor to proceed to the exit barrier and leave the campus free of charge (providing it is within the 30 minute 'grace' period).
The system recognises the short term parking session has been validated by a particular validator, calculates the amount due (based on entry and exit times) and this amount will be deducted from the host's account/cost centre.
NOTE: Holders of ticket validation approval must accept liability for all costs incurred by their remote validator.
Conference and Events
Conference and event parking can be arranged in advance using the Advance Issue Complimentary Ticket Form with the delegate paying, the sponsor paying, or the cost being shared.
Delegate pays: Delegates take a ticket on entry and pay the applicable tariff at the Pay on Foot station or at the exit.
Sponsor pays part or all: The sponsor can arrange parking in advance using the Advance Issue Complimentary Ticket Form, with the relevant cost charged to the sponsor’s cost code.
The completed form must be submitted to the Car Park Office or emailed to carparks@ulster.ac.uk at least 3 working days in advance. Where multiple pre programmed tickets are required, this should be specified on the form.
