Commencement is an extremely busy time on campus and in the surrounding community. The university will welcome approximately 30,000 guests for activities and celebrations. To accommodate our graduates and families, parking on Monday, June 17, will be at Autzen Stadium. Parking is limited, and on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking lots at the stadium will open at 6:30 a.m. To help minimize the impacts of traffic, guests and graduates are strongly encouraged to carpool or ride share to the stadium.
If guests plan to attend the University Commencement Ceremony and need ADA parking accommodations, please drive to Autzen Stadium and utilize the ADA parking at the stadium. Shuttles will not be running from the main UO campus to Autzen Stadium prior to the University Commencement Ceremony.
June 17 is a regular business day on campus. There will be no public parking available on campus other than those with designated ADA placards/plates. Designated ADA parking for those with ADA placards/plates will be in Lot 37 next to Matthew Knight Arena and only a limited number of spaces will be available in the 13th Avenue parking garage.
Parking zones and time limits in the neighborhoods adjacent to campus vary. Please pay attention to all posted signs and placards if parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City of Eugene has an interactive parking map available to view.
