What time do we get there?
We ask that students get to the designated lineup area by 6:15pm. We also ask that parents and guests are in their seats by 6:40 to ensure the ceremony begins on time. Please plan to be early to ensure all things run smoothly! There is always a lot of traffic on campus on graduation days.
Where do we park? How do we handle handicapped parking?
Oakland University has FREE, open parking in any of the parking lots across campus. You do not need a parking pass. There are handicapped spots in the lot near the O'Rena, however, you might need to arrive early to ensure one of those limited spots. Drop off is available in front of the O'Rena. The most convenient parking lots are P17, P11, the parking structure, or P16 (also used for handicapped parking)
