Find out where you can park on arrivals day for Constantine College.

Parking information for Saturday 16 September

New undergraduate students living on campus will move into Constantine on Saturday 16 September.

When you accept your accommodation offer you will be directed to book an arrival slot for Saturday 16 September between 9am and 4pm. Please try to arrive within that slot to help with congestion.

Please park in the Kimberlow Lane Car Park on arrival and head on foot to the Constantine Forum building to collect your keys, student card and other information.

Once you have your keys you can then return to your car and move your belongings into your room. Our volunteers will be on hand to help you carry your belongings and show you which accommodation block is yours. You will need to move your car to the nearby Grimston Bar Park and Ride after unloading as it will help us to manage congestion.

If Kimberlow Lane Car Park is full on the day or you would prefer to park off campus, we have arranged free off-campus parking at Grimston Bar Park and Ride (postcode: YO19 5LA or what3words address: caked.cooks.dare) with a free shuttle bus running between the Campus East interchange and Grimston Bar every 15 to 20 minutes. We therefore ask one member of your party to move your car to this long stay car park as soon as you have unloaded all of your belongings. The shuttle service will finish at 6pm, and the Grimston Bar Park and Ride will close at 9.55pm. Please make sure to collect your vehicles before that time.
