Transportation & Parking Services would like to inform you about the campus impacts related to Commencement ceremonies and celebrations. Traffic and parking will be heavily impacted from Thursday, June 12 through Sunday, June 15. Transportation & Parking Services staff members, as well as the UC Police Department, will be on-site to direct traffic. Please obey all traffic signs and directions from these officials. To accommodate the large volume of vehicles attending multiple ceremonies and celebrations, a detailed traffic plan has been established for the safest and most orderly ingress and egress from the campus. During periods of time each day, parking lots will be closed or reserved while ceremony traffic is directed to the appropriate lots. Thousands of vehicles will be traversing the campus so heavy traffic delays are expected. Staff members participating and volunteering in the ceremonies have been requested to park in lots 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, & 9. Lot Closures: Due to enhanced security and screening measures, Parking Lot 23 will be used for pedestrian line management and ticket screening. Lot 23 will be closed beginning Friday June 6 at 5 p.m. This closure is required for extensive event set-up and to ensure safety and security for the campus community. A small portion of the parking lot will remain open exclusively for student Move-Out operations and access to the Child Care Center. This area will be monitored by the UC Police Department and staff from Transportation & Parking Services. Parking lot 27 will also be closed at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11. The lot will be reserved for ADA parking for Commencement Ceremonies Thursday, June 12 through Sunday, June 15.
