Because an estimated 10,000 people are expected to attend commencement exercises at the University of Colorado at Boulder Dec. 21, those attending should plan to arrive early.
Commencement begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Coors Events/Conference Center.
The majority of parking for the commencement ceremony will be in the Regent Drive Autopark, just south of Colorado Avenue. Free parking for guests also will be available in other lots near the Coors Events/Conference Center and at campus meters.
The meters along Regent Drive and lots 430 and 440 north of the Events/Conference Center will be reserved for elderly and disabled guests. Access to lot 420, on the north side of the events center, will be available for close-in drop-off only.
Courtesy wheelchairs will be available for those who have difficulty walking to their seats from the drop-off area in lot 420.
Additional parking also is available in the Euclid Autopark, a pay parking lot on Euclid Avenue just off Broadway on the Boulder campus.
Additional information about campus parking is available on the Web at or by calling (303) 492-2322.
