Who can park on campus

All members of staff and students who are not resident on campus can park, providing they display a valid parking permit or pass to park.

Any students who live in accommodation on campus are not allowed to park, with the following exceptions:

  • Students with families resident
  • Residential advisors
  • Registered disabled students (also exempt from parking charges).

If you are subject to the parking ban but feel that it is absolutely necessary to have a car on campus, you can appeal by writing to or emailing the Transport office (transport@sussex.ac.uk) with details of your reasons, along with documents to support your appeal.

Residents who have received permission to park on campus after a successful appeal are eligible for an annual permit only.

Large motor vehicles - such as motor caravans, vans and minibuses - that exceed the size of one parking space may be parked on campus only with the express permission of the Director of Estates and Facilities Management.

Use of a motor vehicle parked on campus for overnight accommodation is prohibited.
