This is an important first step as it will help you decide which permit you are eligible for, how much it will cost, and how to apply. This will save time later, and provide you with a smoother application experience.
Ensure you are eligible for a parking permit
From September 2026, the eligibility criteria for student parking permits will change for students living in the GU1 and GU2 postcode areas.
If you live in GU1 or GU2 postcodes, you will only be eligible to apply for a parking permit if you meet one of the below criteria:
- Medical grounds
- Proven caring or childcare (for children aged 13 years or under) commitments
- Dual Career Athlete scheme.
If you live outside of the Guildford area (outside of the GU1 and GU2 postcode areas), there is a strong possibility that you will be granted a permit to park.
Register for an account
Before submitting an application, you will need to register for an account on the Evology Permit website.

Until your permit is approved, you must use our pay and display car parks. Using permit holder car parks without a permit will likely result in a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
Approved applications
You will receive instructions on setting up payment through the permit system. Please note that your permit will only be valid once payment is completed - failure to set up payment will invalidate your permit.
Rejected applications
You may appeal by providing additional evidence.
Set up a payment method
Once your permit application is approved, you will receive instructions via your University email address on how to set up payment with Evology Autopay for Pay As You Go (PAYG) users, or through World Pay for Stag Hill and Manor Park Residents.
You can read more about payment methods above.
Payment methods must be set up before parking to activate your permit. Inactive permits will result in Parking Charge Notice (PCN) fines.
