Commencement 2013 Parking Information and Maps

Each graduate receives two commencement parking permits (general or disabled) from their college, as well as specific information about the location and time of their ceremony.

Commencement ceremonies take place on either the east or west side of campus. Be sure to ask your graduate which side of campus their commencement ceremony takes place, and follow the "EAST" or "WEST" commencement directional signs when you arrive at UCSC.

Detailed instructions and maps are available on our commencement parking page.
