Because an estimated 10,000 people are expected to attend commencement exercises at the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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.
