Commencement Parking, Maps & Services

Guest parking is free on commencement day and available in most lots. Visitors must observe regulations for handicapped and individually reserved spaces. Please remind your guests to arrive early to avoid traffic congestion and to allow for travel time between the parking lots and gym. Shuttle bus service will be available from the 12A parking lot off Bill McDonald Parkway near Fairhaven College, but cannot accommodate wheelchairs. The shuttle service begins at 8:30 AM and ends at 12:30 PM (fall, winter, summer quarters) and 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM (spring quarter) or until there is no demand.  Guests in wheelchairs may park in designated lots behind Miller Hall and Arntzen Hall.
