People attending the University of Colorado at Boulder commencement ceremony May 6 at 8:30 a.m. in Folsom Stadium will join a crowd of about 20,000 and should plan an early arrival.
No tickets are required for the ceremony, which will be held in Folsom Stadium regardless of the weather.
The majority of the parking for the ceremony will be in lot 436 on Regent Drive, just south of Colorado Avenue.
Close-in parking and the drop-off area for those who have difficulty walking will be along Colorado Avenue, south of the stadium. People who want to use the drop-off area should do so as early as possible.
Commencement planners also are encouraging use of the HOP, SKIP and Stampede buses, which run about every 10 minutes and stop near the stadium. They will be operating the morning of the ceremony.
Campus parking meters are free the morning of commencement. Additional parking also is available in the Euclid Avenue Autopark, a pay parking lot on Euclid Avenue just off Broadway near the University Memorial Center and a short walk from the stadium.
Additional information about campus parking is available on the Web at or by calling (303) 492-2322.
