Commencement preparation and ceremonies will coincide with residence hall move out, beginning Monday, June 12, resulting in significant changes to campus circulation and parking. Access routes to campus, parking lots and structures may be intermittently closed due to traffic or event control.
UC San Diego will host 12 commencement ceremonies the weekend of June 17 and 18 with impacts to access starting Thursday evening, June 15. Road and parking lot closures and impacts noted below are subject to change based on attendance and traffic conditions. We appreciate your patience and support as friends and family gather to celebrate the Class of 2023.
If you will be on campus Saturday, June 17, or Sunday, June 18, but are not attending commencement, enter campus from Gilman Drive or Villa La Jolla Drive to avoid traffic revisions.
