How to Appeal a University of Dundee Parking Charge Notice
Check the campus parking terms, gather the records for your visit and send a written challenge to the university. Scottish parking charges must be assessed under the law and process that apply in Scotland.
Dundee's parking regulations cover university-managed sites, including City Campus, the Botanic Gardens, Riverside and Wilson House. They exclude other Health Board parking at Ninewells and Kirkcaldy, DUSA's car park and separately managed residences. A ticket at one of those sites may have a different issuer.

Challenging the Campus Parking Charge
Explain which allegation is wrong and connect each point to a record: an activated permit, a payment, permission to park or the condition of the signs. A parking appeal should address this visit, not make unsupported claims about every campus ticket.
Keep the acknowledgment and decision. If a reminder arrives during an unanswered appeal, send the acknowledgment and ask the parking team to confirm the position.
The University's Parking Procedure
Dundee accepts parking appeals at parking@dundee.ac.uk within 28 days of the PCN issue date. Its policy provides for an email response within 28 days and an IAS appeal after rejection. Send the notice, permit or payment record and the reason the charge is disputed.
Records to Keep for Your Campus Parking Dispute
- The complete notice and later correspondence, including the stated location, time and allegation.
- The permit, activated voucher, booking or payment record for that vehicle and visit.
- Photographs showing the relevant signs, marked bay and access restrictions.
- Any visitor permission, disability adjustment, breakdown report or other record relevant to the alleged breach.
Parking Liability in Scotland
A parking charge on a Scottish campus is not a council fine. The claim concerns the parking agreement and who is liable under it. Do not treat England and Wales' Schedule 4 notice deadlines as a test that automatically cancels a Scottish charge. In an FOI response dated 22 April 2026, published on 19 August, the Scottish Government confirmed that its private-parking keeper-liability provisions had not been commenced. A letter addressed to the registered keeper does not, by itself, establish that the keeper was driving. Give an accurate account and do not invent a driver or deny something you know is true.
If the Dispute Is Not Resolved
Keep the written outcome. If the charge remains disputed, later collection or court correspondence must be answered according to that stage; the original parking appeal is not a response to a court claim.
Independent Parking Appeal
If the university rejects the first appeal and offers IAS review, submit the evidence and arguments within the period stated in the rejection and current IAS conditions. Glasgow's published university page refers to 21 days after rejection; Dundee's refers to 28 days. Act promptly rather than relying on a generic deadline. Distinguish an IAS Standard Appeal from the separately agreed non-standard procedure; their binding effect is not the same.
Scottish Campus Parking Questions
Is a university parking charge a council penalty?
No. A charge issued under university parking terms concerns private parking. Check the issuer on the notice because nearby council, hospital or separately managed parking can follow a different process.
Does a debt letter mean a court has ordered payment?
No. Check whether you have collection correspondence or an actual court document. A disputed parking charge can still be pursued through civil proceedings, so do not ignore court papers.
Can I use County Court forms for a Scottish claim?
No. Use the procedure specified by the sheriff court and its last date for response. If the claim was issued by a court elsewhere, obtain advice about that court and jurisdiction.
