Temporary Disability Permit Procedure for Students

Temporary Disability Parking Permits (TDPP) may be available upon application to students who do not qualify for a Disabled Person's Parking Card but have a short term physical disability that has been confirmed by a physician in the Student Health Unit (SHU). 

Students who wish to apply for a TDPP must make an appointment to see a SHU physician, stating the reason for their visit. The SHU physician may issue qualifying students with a completed form and successful applicants must bring their signed form to the Student Information Desk, Áras Uí Chathail. Permits may be issued on the spot, but please note there is an average turn-around time of 10 working days. The SHU physician will indicate a suitable duration for the permit.

Please note that all details will be treated in absolute confidence and applicants need only reveal medical details to the SHU physician and to no other parties. Only the SHU physician can advise that it is appropriate to issue a permit.

This permit can only be used by the applicant in officially designated universally accessible bays around the campus. The Buildings Office has the right to withdraw the permit at any given time. The maximum duration for the permit will be one year.

A process is in place to handle any appeals to the above system or fines applied for individual clamping incidents. Forms are available at www.nuigalway.ie/parking and should be addressed to Parking Management Appeals Group, c/o Buildings Office, NUI Galway" within two months from the date of the incident.  Appeals can only be considered when submitted on this form.
