Student Parking Permits

A vehicle parking permit is required by anyone wishing to park in the University’s vehicle parks in Bangor, Menai Bridge and Wrexham.

Student parking areas are available across the estate and student permits are allocated on the basis of where you live, or where you study.

Please note that not all vehicle parks are available for student parking.

If you are a Blue Badge holder or a student with mobility difficulties, please email the Disability Services Advisor in Student Services for advice on which permit you require.

Bangor University allow a period of grace to enable students to settle in and obtain a parking permit before patrolling for vehicles without a permit. We ask that you park in a designated parking space, refrain from parking on double yellow lines and hatch areas.

Types of available Student Parking Permits

If you live in Halls, you can purchase a permit which will enable you to park at your hall of residence site only. Ffriddoedd and St. Mary’s permits are the options available.

A commuting permit is required to park on the Bangor campus. These permits are restricted to designated car parks and not necessarily adjacent to the permit holder’s place of study. If there is space, these permits can also be used to park on the Ffriddoedd and St. Mary’s sites during the day. Commuting permits cannot be used in Menai Bridge.

Anyone who has most of their lectures at Ocean Sciences in Menai Bridge can purchase one of these permits. These permits can also be used in the commuting car parks on the Bangor campus.

Anyone studying at the Wrexham campus is required to purchase a Wrexham parking permit.

Accesible parking permits are available to students. Blue Badge holder or a student with disabilities, please email the Disability Services Advisor in Student Services for advice before applying for permit.
