Car Parking
Cathays Park Campus
There is expansion and improvement work planned throughout the University each year, some of this work will undoubtedly impact on car parking. The University has permanently lost car parking space to new projects in the past, and there is the possibility that further parking space will be lost.
We regret that, due to limited capacity, there is no provision for student parking, with the exception of students with disabilities, whose needs will be met wherever possible, and a limited number of permits available to residential students at selected Halls of Residence.
Anybody wishing to apply for a parking permit, or to join a waiting list, can do so by downloading, and completing, the relevant application form, available from the resources section of this page, or by contacting:

Please note that the only criteria for allocation of a parking permit, or where insufficient capacity exists, position on a waiting list, is length of service with Cardiff University. The only exceptions to this rule are: newly appointed Professors, Heads of Administrative Directorates, or staff with disabilities.
