Parking and On-Campus Transportation

With ten colleges hosting ceremonies on commencement weekend, parking will be limited and with heavy traffic. We recommend that you plan to carpool, shuttle, use public transportation, and most of all, plan ahead.

Each registered senior will receive only two (2) parking passes for the day. There is no limit to the amount of guests per student. Passes will be available the week prior to commencement. Parking passes must be placed on the dashboard of the vehicle, visible to staff directing traffic and parking. Follow the "West Side Ceremonies" and "Rachel Carson College (formerly College Eight)" signs. Parking officials will direct cars to the appropriate lots. Guests may walk or take shuttles to the ceremony site at the Lower West Field.

For additional information about parking & transportation please visit the UCSC Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) website. Commencement related information will be posted on the TAPS website in the Spring quarter.
