To get to the campus, it’s only a 5-minute walk from Chichester train station and bus station. Over two thirds of our students travel to the campus by train or bus. The campus is also easy to get to by road, as it’s just off the A27.
Travelling to College
Chichester College campus is accessible by car, bus, train or by foot
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information supplied is correct at the time of publication. Students and their parent/carers should check with service providers to ensure that published costs and timetables are current and correct.
Chichester College is accessible by foot or bicycle.
Visitors can walk down Swieqi Road to get directly to the reception entrance, or use the footpath around Westgate Fields (which also leads to and from the train and bus station). These footpaths are also bicycle friendly.
We recommend using one of the three cycle shelters on campus. A gated, covered cycle shelter is by Main reception, accessible only with a key fob purchased on the e-store Here for a £10 returnable deposit. Proof of purchase should be taken to the Estates office to collect the key.
Other covered cycle shelters are to be found in the larger car park by G Block/ Construction and by the Sports Centre.
These require a £5 key (non-refundable) bought from the Sports Centre Reception. We recommend using a good quality, robust bike lock as all property left, anywhere on site, is at the owner’s risk.
Parking at Chichester College is free for all students and staff.
Students (including apprentices) and staff wishing to park at Chichester College need to register the details of their vehicle in advance. Failure to do so may result in Parking Charge Notice.
To register your vehicle, please click on the appropriate button below.
STUDENT PARKING REGISTRATION:
STAFF PARKING REGISTRATION:
Please note, if you change your vehicle, you must complete a change of details form via the Online Store (https://estore.chichester.ac.uk/product-catalogue/chichester-college-group/parking/parking-change-of-details). If you change your vehicle and do not complete this form, you will be at risk of receiving a Parking Charge Notice.
Students will need to renew their e-permit for each academic year.
Motorcycle Parking
Parking for motorcycles is free, but they must be parked in allocated motorcycle bays only.
Blue Badges
Blue Badge holders who are visiting the college must register their vehicle in advance, using our Blue Badge webform: https://estore.chichester.ac.uk/product-catalogue/chichester-college-group/parking/blue-badge-holder-application
Visitor Parking
All visitors using the car park must register their vehicle at main reception within 30 minutes of arrival.
Picking up or dropping off
There is a maximum 30 minute waiting time for vehicles at college, either at the entrance or in the college car parks.
Number plates are scanned on arrival and departure, so any vehicle that is onsite for longer than 30 minutes without having registered or paid for parking will be subject to a Parking Charge Notice.
We have found a common issue around Parking Charge Notices that relate to parents collecting students and, due to unforeseen circumstances, staying longer than 30 minutes.
If those waiting think that they are likely to exceed the 30 minute free waiting time, it is recommended that they leave the site and then re-enter. When a vehicle exits the site (even if they re-enter in the same minute) the 30 minute grace period is refreshed and effectively re-starts.
If vehicles exceed the 30 minute waiting time, they will need to email carparking@chigroup.ac.uk within 48 hours.
Public Users
If you are not a student or staff member, you must pay to park at Chichester College for the full duration of your stay using the Sippi App (location ID: 809648).
Who manages the college car park?
The college car parks are independently managed by UK Car Park Management (UKCPM). They are responsible for issuing Parking Charge Notices.
