Due to the limited amount of parking available, there is unfortunately no student parking at the College.

As explained above, the vast majority of students will not get any financial help with their travel expenses unless they can prove a) severe financial hardship and b) that Reigate College is their nearest course provider. Please contact Alison.Baker@reigate.ac.uk for further information.
