Universities & Campuses

Campus parking that works for everyone, students, staff, and visitors, without the admin burden on your estates team.

University campus parking

Campus parking is a daily source of conflict. Here's why.

See how →
Staff spaces taken by students
Your permit system relies on trust and windscreen checks. Students park in staff bays, staff park in visitor spaces, and everyone complains to estates. Without automated enforcement, the rules are suggestions, and everybody knows it.
Term-time admin that never ends
New term, new intake, new permits to issue. Then the changes: new staff, leavers, course transfers, part-time timetables. Managed on spreadsheets, chased by email. Your team spends weeks every September on parking admin that should take an afternoon.
Event days turn the campus to chaos
Open days, graduations, conferences, every large event overwhelms your car park. There's no pre-booking, no overflow management, no live capacity feed. Security and estates spend the day directing traffic by hand.

Parking built for how campuses
actually work

One platform that handles permits, enforcement, events, and visitor access, configured around your academic calendar, not a generic template.

Permits by role, term, and timetable

Issue permits to students, staff, and postgrads with access windows matched to their timetable or contract. Term starts and ends automatically, no manual updates.

Automated zone enforcement

ANPR ensures each zone stays for its designated users. Students in staff bays, unregistered vehicles, long-stay overstays, all flagged automatically, without a warden.

Event mode for open days and graduations

Switch to event mode in one click. Pre-booking opens for guests, overflow zones activate, live occupancy is shared with security. No chaos, no manual traffic direction.

Self-serve visitor day passes

Departments invite external speakers, interviewers, and contractors through a simple portal. Timed passes issued instantly, no estates team involvement.

Carpooling and sustainable incentives

Reward staff and students who carpool with allocated premium bays. Track and report modal shift for your sustainability reporting, automatically.

Usage data for estates planning

Occupancy by zone, permit utilisation rates, peak demand by day, all in one dashboard. Data that makes the case for infrastructure investment or policy change.

From enrolment
to every day after

Stellos handles the full campus parking lifecycle, from term-start onboarding to daily access, visitor passes, and event management. Zero admin overhead.
