With the new commencement format, this year’s exercises may put additional strain on the University’s main parking lot, especially with guests coming and going between ceremonies. All administrators, faculty, and staff participating in or attending commencement this year are asked to park their vehicles in the lower parking lot on the river campus, which is accessed via VanHouten Drive or McCosh Street. A map is available at this link.
From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., parking attendants will be available to direct parking on the lower lot and shuttle services will be available for continuous transport between the lot and the upper campus. The drop off and pick up will be along the side of the Beauchamp recreation center across from Holy Cross Court. Everyone’s cooperation is very much appreciated, since it will help to ease the potential congestion in the main parking lot and ensure all visitors have a great UP experience.
