Terms, Conditions, and Regulations relevant to the issuing of Parking Permits for students with an exceptional need to park on site

Terms, conditions and regulations relevant to the issuing of Kedleston Road student parking permits 

Criteria

The University has established criteria against which it may be possible to issue permits to certain students. The criteria used have been evaluated as the fairest method for issuing permits within the confines of need, space and resource.

The following criteria are in use currently, though they are subject to change in order that the University meets its objective (no hierarchical order):

• Students who are blue badge holders will be issued with a KR permit (upon production of the blue badge). The blue badge must be displayed alongside the permit at all times
• Students studying part-time programmes that begin before 4.30 pm. (NB: If you do not have any proof that you are a part-time student, you may be asked to obtain proof from your programme/course team)
• Students with caring responsibilities and distances to travel where public transport is not an option (15 miles from Term Time address)
• There is no guarantee of space being available. If all car parks are full, alternative parking should be sought
• All permit holders are requested to drive with due care and consideration for other persons
• The University provides a free shuttle bus which runs between all the Derby campuses (currently Kedleston Road, Markeaton Street and Britannia Mill)
• Any student can use the Kedleston Road parking facilities free of charge after 4.30pm Monday to Friday
• The Kedleston Road Car Park is pay and park via the MiPermit app at the weekend
• All permit applications will be reviewed by the Car Parking Team who reserve the right to withhold or revoke permits if deemed necessary

To be issued with a car parking permit, a valid insurance certificate showing you as a named driver must be produced.

Permit expiry

The permit is valid as indicated by the expiry date.

Change of details 

It is a student’s responsibility to update any changes in details from that submitted on the application to MiPermit, especially changes that would materially alter the nature of the application, or the eligibility to continue to hold a permit. To change car details, a current Insurance certificate must be provided for your new vehicle. You must return your old permit.  A new permit will not be issued until these have been seen.

Cost - There is no cost for the Kedleston Road permits, however, charges apply via MiPermit.

Permit ownership - The permit is issued to the applicant only and is not transferable.

Responsibilities of permit holders 

• Only Blue Badge holders are permitted to park in marked disabled parking bays. Blue Badge holders can park for free if Blue Badge is displayed
• Student parking is in car park 1 (the first car park on the right-hand side when entering the driveway)
• Parking should only be within the lined spaces provided
• Where there are designated parking areas/spaces vehicles must be left accordingly, failure to do so may result in a penalty charge. No parking is allowed where the signing or lining indicates that it is prohibited (including spaces reserved for disabled and visitors)
• Users of the car park must pay via the MiPermit when parking on a weekday prior to 4:30pm

Breaches in regulations 

Permit holders are warned that breaches of these terms, conditions and regulations may result in the revoking of the permit and disciplinary action in accordance with the University’s Regulations.

Warning notices of such action will be issued in less serious instances, however, the University reserves the right to take immediate action in cases involving health and safety, fraudulent applications, or misuse of the permit and the car park.

For breeches of terms and conditions, Parking Charge Notices will be issued. Warning notification signs are posted around the car park.
