Travel Information

Campus Parking Zones

The campus car parks are divided in to zones and students should only park in their designated zone (see campus plan)

• All zones and vehicles will be monitored.
• Students abusing the system or parking in the incorrect zones will be subject to a fine.
• Repeat offenders will be subject to further disciplinary action which may result in a permit being revoked.
• Permits are not transferable between Students or vehicles (if you change your vehicle you will need to apply for a new permit and surrender your existing one).
• No permits are to be photocopied or defaced in any way. Any permits found to be forged will be treated as fraud, and disciplinary action will be taken. A permit does not guarantee a particular parking space or that there will be space in a car park, the zoning system is designed to manage the spaces we have.
• The permit system will be under constant review, and some people may be re-allocated permits dependent upon demand.

Bike Hire Scheme

Harper Adams runs a bike hire scheme for all students:

How long can I hire a bike for?

Bikes may be hired for a minimum of one week to a maximum of one term. It may be possible to further extend the loan period but this must be checked with Student Services to ensure the bike is still available.

How much does it cost?

Hire charge is from £1.50 per week, and you will need to provide a £50 deposit which will be refunded on return of the bike and accessories in a good clean condition.

What do I get with the bike?

As well as a Giant CRS 4.0 bike (or similar) you will be provided with a cycle helmet, padlock, lights, cycle safety booklet and a key for a storage locker, if required.

Security of the bike

The bikes must be kept padlocked whenever they are not in use. The bike must only be used by the person hiring. If it is lost or stolen this must be reported immediately to either the Student Services Administrator (0192 815396) 9.30am - 4pm or College Security (07980 061128) after 5pm.

Return of the bike

Bikes must be returned in full working order and clean at the end of the loan period. They must be checked by a porter who can be contacted on 01952 815321 or porters@harper-adams.ac.uk for a time to be arranged. The bike should then be returned to the Cycle Rack. The padlock key, helmet and bike check form should be returned to Jane Austin.

Cycle Safety

A 12 page cycle safety booklet will be made available to you by Student Services and this should be read.
