With about 20,000 people expected to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder commencement exercises May 11 at 9:30 a.m. in Folsom Stadium, attendees should plan to arrive early.
The majority of parking for the commencement ceremony will be in lot 436 on Regent Drive, just south of Colorado Avenue. Close-in parking and drop-off for those with difficulty walking will be along Colorado Avenue south of the stadium. Those wanting to access the drop-off area should do so well before the student procession reaches the stadium. The student procession begins at 9 a.m. Parking attendants will be on duty to answer questions and direct traffic to available spots.
