An administrative fee of £280 per year will be charged for the use of College funded transport for students living outside of Thurrock. Details of routes are available.

Car Parking on Campus

Students wishing to bring cars and motorcycles to College must have their vehicles registered by the Site Services Officer and attend ‘safe driving’ presentation. Students should use the car park at the rear of the College, or the overflow car park, which is situated adjacent to the tennis courts. Students may not use the spaces for visitors and staff. Students will need to produce a valid driving licence, certificate of insurance and MOT certificate (where applicable).

Please note that parking places at the College are in short supply at certain times of the year. There may be occasions where it is not possible to issue a car parking pass and your name will be added to a waiting list.
