Car Parking

Photo of carpark

You must have a valid parking session or PayByPhone or pay & display ticket or display a valid Blue Badge on arrival when parking on the University of Salford Campus car parks. Motor vehicles [including motor cycles, motor scooters and mopeds] may be parked at the University only in the official car parks and then only in the spaces marked out for parking.

All car park users are expected to observe the University’s parking restrictions. Parking restrictions and penalties are displayed on notices across the University estate and also in the Car Parking Policy. Failure to adhere to this policy is likely to result in the issue of a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

There are several ways to pay for your parking

Any complaints or queries regarding registration or vehicle parking on University property should be emailed to estates-supportteam@salford.ac.uk.

Staff and Students can buy an Annual Parking Session. Annual parking sessions must be purchased online from the online shop, please ensure your registration details are entered correctly.
