Parking

Parking during moving-in weekend is free of charge. For students who wish to use parking facilities during term time, there are some things to bear in mind.

Main Campus

Parking at our Main Campus is extremely limited, so we encourage all students living in our accommodation not to bring cars and instead to use our excellent public transport links where possible.

For students living at Trinity Close, however, car parking spaces are available for £200 per year on a first-come, first-served basis.

Travelling to Main Campus

For further details on parking at our Main Campus, please see our Car Parking Policy.

Clarence Dock Village

Limited on-site parking is available for students living at Clarence Dock Village, at no extra cost. All you need to do is apply for a permit. On-street parking is also available on the nearby Clarence Road. 

Travelling to Clarence Dock Village

For further information on parking permits, please contact travel@leedstrinity.ac.uk

Bills and TV licence

If you're living in university-owned accommodation, either on our Main Campus or at Clarence Dock Village, your rent includes gas, electricity, internet and water bills, plus contents insurance. As a student, you won't need to pay council tax.

If you're not living in one of our halls of residence, make sure you know what bills you're required to pay. If you're unsure, you can contact our Money Advice team at moneyadvice@leedstrinity.ac.uk.

You'll need to purchase your own TV licence if you plan to watch television in your bedroom and/or in a communal area. Find out more information about TV licensing.

Next steps

Once you’ve moved in, the next thing to look forward to is Welcome Week and settling into life at LTU. Take a look at what’s to come, plus recommendations to make sure your time at university is the best it can be.
