Parking

Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Allow plenty of time and please be alert for pedestrians.

The following parking lots are recommended for the main ceremonies:
Recommended parking for department ceremonies will be provided.
If you do not require accessibility accommodations, we recommend parking as close as possible to your final ceremony location to avoid traffic delays that often occur immediately after each ceremony.
Only vehicles with a Limited Mobility Access Pass displayed in their front dashboard OR a state-issued ADA tag/license plate will be able to drop-off at an access point (pdf) adjacent to the Main Ceremony location.
- ADA parking is first-come, first-served. The Limited Mobility Access Pass and/or state issued placard or license plate do not guarantee access to ADA parking.
- Passes will be provided electronically to students who requested them.
- The driver will then be directed to park as close as possible to the stadium or arena.
- Due to high traffic volume, there may not be enough spaces to park immediately adjacent to the stadium or arena.
- Our Parking Services staff will do their best to direct you to the most convenient lot.
- For additional convenience, there will also be limited mobility shuttles available from certain parking areas throughout campus.
The Stadium Drive parking lot will be closed to general parking beginning at noon Friday for Main Ceremony low-mobility parking. Vehicles without a disability tag are expected to clear the lot by 2 p.m.

Inclement Weather Only

If the Main Ceremony is moved indoors to Kaplan Arena but the student Walk Across Campus (pdf) is able to safely take place, traffic along Ukrop Way will be significantly slowed for up to 30 minutes beginning around 5:30 p.m. Friday.
