After Graduation

 

Parking

Parking at the University is limited. Therefore, pre-paid parking permits will be required for the Ceremony and for all School, College and Departmental graduation events occurring within normal parking hours. Students should order parking permits through the Commencement registration/order form, May 4 - May 24.

  • All Permits cost $11.00 and will be available on a first-come, first served basis through the registration/order form.
  • In order to fairly distribute parking spaces, each student will be limited to a reasonable number of parking permits for the particular event he/she is attending.
  • Students attending any event (Commencement or School/College events) on June 13th will need to select the parking lot in which they wish to park.
  • Once purchased no refunds will be available for parking permits.
  • Permits will be picked up at the HUB on the pick up day the student selects on the web form.
  • Students may pick up additional permits (if available) when they pick up their order.

Disability Parking and Drop Off Locations

Disability parking will be located in various lots immediately surrounding the stadium. Students may obtain disability parking permits (see "Parking" above) via the Registration Order/form. Students are encouraged to determine their guests' needs before purchasing. For information on disability parking for a School/College or departmental event, see below.

A special drop off area has been arranged in front of the Graves Building for guests with disabilities or mobility limitations. The Graves Building is just north of the stadium and can only be accessed via the northbound lanes of Montlake Blvd. There is no parking in this area so drivers will need to proceed to the parking area noted on their permit. Golf carts, with drivers, will be available to transport guests from the drop off area to Husky Stadium. Immediately following the ceremony, the drop off area will be inaccessible for approximately 30 - 45 minutes while the traffic clears. After this period pick up will resume again.

School, College, or Departmental Event Parking

The information below pertains only to ceremonies that DO NOT occur on Saturday, June 13.

  • Each permit purchased (see "Parking" above) will be valid for the date of your event and will be valid in any parking lot on campus.
  • Stop at the gatehouses for directions to available parking lots.
  • Guests who require disability parking should ask gatehouse staff to direct them to appropriate disability parking nearest your event.
