Car Parking Supervisor - Will Jacobs
Our Car Parking team work across every University of Worcester campus to maintain control of all vehicles entering the grounds. Our main aim is to ensure that all vehicles are adhering to the Vehicle Parking Regulations and making sure that emergency services are able to gain access to all buildings with ease.
We strongly recommend that you read through the Vehicle Parking Regulations to understand what is expected of anyone parking on a University of Worcester site.
If you are not adhering to these regulations, you will receive a parking ticket that may contain a fine.
To park on any of our University of Worcester campuses you will either require a parking permit or a pay & display ticket. Please see below for further information on this.
Unmarked Car Parks
St. John's campus can often become busy during term times and parking spaces are limited. In some instances you may be required to park in an unmarked car park such as the Grass Overflow or the Permit only Car Park K. Please refer to the following link for guidance on how to use an unmarked car park.
Severn Campus AI Gate
Please be advised that the new AI Gate pay on exit system will soon be up and running at our Severn Campus.
The system is yet to go live, confirmation of this will soon follow.
All vehicles will be able to enter through the entrance barrier upon approach with the arm raising to allow access.
All permit holders will be added onto a whitelist which will allow them to exit through the new barrier system upon approach, please ensure that your registration information is entered correctly against your permit on the system to ensure you are able to leave without issue. This can be accessed via this link. Staff will need to log in, click my permits and then Vehicles to check what registration numbers are logged.
Drivers who use pay & display at that campus should be advised that the system will now use a pay on exit service. This will require them to pay at either pay & display machine before exiting the car park where they will be prompted to enter their registration, they will then be charged the rate based on the time their vehicle entered the car park and allow them to exit via the new gate.
Please be advised that an intercom system is located on the gate itself which can be used to call through to our Security control room in instances of emergencies.
If you have any queries or concerns please email carparking@worc.ac.uk
