Directions, Parking, and Shuttles

When You Arrive

Parking is available in the North Lot and the College Avenue Parking Garage. Please note that the walk from these lots to the East Campus Athletic Village (ECAV) can be long—especially in hot or rainy weather. We strongly recommend using the complimentary campus shuttle service.

After parking, board a shuttle to the ceremony. Due to the high volume of guests, roads near the Commencement area will be accessible only via shuttle. Shuttles will drop guests at the main entrance of the ECAV, a short walk from the Stadium Field.

Parking for Guests with Mobility Needs

Designated accessible parking is available in the College Avenue Parking Garage and the lot behind Academy Hall, both accessible via College Avenue. No special permit is required.
