Because an estimated 10,000 people are expected to attend the winter commencement ceremony at the University of Colorado at Boulder on Dec. 20, those planning to drive to campus should arrive early.
Commencement begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Coors Events/Conference Center and guests are expected to be in their seats by 9:10 a.m. to ensure that the ceremony begins on time.
The majority of parking for the 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 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.
Courtesy wheelchairs will be available for those who have difficulty walking to their seats from locations near the events/conference center.
Additional parking is available in the Euclid Autopark, a pay parking lot on Euclid Avenue just off Broadway on the CU-Boulder campus.
More information about campus parking is available on the Web at or by calling (303) 492-2322.
