Staff parking
The type of permit available to you will depend on whether you are on the University payroll (ie you are paid every month by the University or Students' Union) or if you are non-payroll (ie you may be a sessional lecturer or you work for an agency).
Parking permits are paperless now that we use an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system to capture vehicle details and improve parking monitoring.
For your convenience, you can register up to 4 vehicles but you are only able to have one on campus at a time.
If you wish to cancel your permit and stop payroll deductions, please email - parking@keele.ac.uk
Staff are not usually asked to make a new application each year but if you change your vehicle at any time you should update the registration at First Parking Site
A valid parking permit will allow you to park in any campus car park except for:
- Disabled spaces
- Pay and display areas
- Reserved visitor spaces
- Car share spaces (unless car sharing) before 9.30am
- Family friendly spaces before 9.15am
- Science Park and Innovation Centres car park (Staff in IC1 and IC2 can park in spaces aligned to their office space)
- Residential areas around campus, where residential permits must be displayed
- Event Permit Only car parks

Staff permits
The type of permit available to you will depend on whether you are on the University payroll (ie you are paid every month by the University) or if you are non-payroll (ie you may be a sessional lecturer or you work for an agency). Your permit is specific to you and the permitted vehicle registrations you provide. Only one vehicle should be on campus at any one time.
If you need to change the registrations for any reason e.g you buy a new car or are using a courtesy car, update your vehicle details here
Before bringing a newly registered vehicle onto campus you need to await an email confirming the change has been made, this will usually be within two working days.
If you need to change a vehicle on the day, make the update on the parking system yourself then make a follow up phone call to speak to a member of the team 01782 732000 (8.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday) and they will check it whilst you wait.
If you are paid by the University every month, then you are eligible to apply for a campus parking permit. The cost of the parking permit, which is deducted from your salary on a monthly basis, is 0.3%.
As a guide approximate deductions at 0.3% are:
- Salary £21K - Full time: £5.25 per month, Part-time (0.5fte) £2.65 per month
- Salary £35K - Full time: £8.75 per month, Part-time (0.5fte) £4.40 per month
