Commencement Parking

2026 Parking Guide

Parking is limited this year due to ongoing campus construction. Use your color-coded parking tags (provided by your graduate) to find your designated lots. (Each graduate receives 2 tags)

Shuttles will run throughout the day, beginning at 7:30am and ending one hour after the ceremony concludes. Shuttles will stop only at designated lots.

RED PARKING TAG — Accessible Parking inside the campus gate, closest to the Parade Field. Gate closes at 8:45 am for safety — please plan to arrive no later than 8:45 am.

YELLOW PARKING TAG — C Lot (on Academy Drive). You can board a shuttle to the Maritime Conference Center (MCC), and then walk to the Parade Field (or ride on a golf cart if needed).

BLUE PARKING TAG — Remote Parking in the Kendall Rae Lot (at the Hampton Inn). You can board a shuttle to the MCC, and then walk to the Parade Field (or ride on a golf cart if needed).

Arriving in more than two vehicles? Additional parking is available in the municipal lot at the Buzzards Bay Recreation Area, just off-campus near the railroad bridge.

Please do not park on residential streets or at the Marina.
