Disabled student parking

Blue Badge holders

If you are a blue badge holder you pay the registration fee, but not the termly or daily parking charge. This will mean that you will need to apply manually through the Estates and Facilities HelpdeskEstates and Facilities HelpdeskEstates and Facilities Helpdesk to register your vehicle.

For those who need further assistance you can also:

  • Apply for a parking space near your residence
  • Contact the Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity Service (SWIS) at include@essex.ac.uk for support with access and disability related issues. 

Non-Blue Badge holders

Regrettably, it is not possible to permit students or partners of students, living in University accommodation to park on campus. If you are a student, resident on campus with a physical disability, severe diagnosed sensory impairment, mental health or medical condition which severely restricts your mobility or ability to mobilise off campus you can apply to park your car in the main campus car parks. Request an application form by emailing include@essex.ac.uk.
