Parking
Disabled parking
If you have a blue disabled badge, you can park in any of the disabled, or regular, bays on campus. No payment is required as long as your blue badge is clearly in your front windscreen.
Supported parking
For students
If you have mobility needs or other circumstances that affect how you travel, you may be able to get additional parking support through the Student Advice & Support team. You can contact them to discuss your individual circumstances so that they can arrange appropriate support for you.
For staff
Staff who need special arrangements for disability-related reasons but do not have a blue badge can get additional support via their HR Partner.
9U Shuttle Bus
The University runs a free shuttle bus between the Hillhead, Old Aberdeen and Foresterhill campuses. Staff and students can use the bus by showing the driver their ID card. All buses have low floor access and assistance dogs are welcome on the service. The drivers are happy to help if passengers require assistance.
