Our regular parking map can also be accessed on the Parking Services web page above as well. The University is open for regular academic activities on the day of the ceremony. We strongly encourage faculty, staff, and students to consider carpooling/ridesharing to avoid what we expect to be significant traffic on campus.

Students who live in nearby off-campus apartments are strongly encouraged to utilize the off-campus housing shuttle. We have an additional off –campus bus available should it be needed. The South Baseball lot 8b is typically underutilized. We suggest students utilize this lot as an alternative to the lots that will be closed.
