Car parking
Find out where you can park on arrivals day for Alcuin College.
Undergraduate arrivals
New undergraduate students living on campus will move into Alcuin on Saturday 14 September 2024.
If you were asked to book an arrivals slot when confirming your room offer, please make sure to arrive during this time to help us reduce the likelihood of congestion on the day.
Please park in the Campus North Car Park on arrival and head on foot to the Alcuin Reception building to collect your keys, student card and other information.
Once you have your keys you can then return to your car to begin unloading. We hope to have some Second and Third Year Contacts (STYCs) on hand to help show you to your accommodation block.
If closer spaces are available at the time you arrive, our stewards will let you know. If you are directed into these spaces, you will need to move your car back to the Campus North Car Park once you have finished unloading to help manage congestion, and allow others the same opportunity. We have a very limited number of trolleys available so you may wish to bring a fold up trolley on wheels if you are bringing more than you can manage to carry.

If you are arriving by car, the nearest car park will be the Campus North Car Park, which can also be found using the what3words address listed above.
On your arrival, please go to Alcuin Reception to pick up your keys. We hope to have volunteers available to welcome and guide you to your accommodation block.
