Transportation and Parking
Parking will be free for our commencement ceremonies. Reserved parking for individuals experiencing disabilities will be available, and guests will also be able to drop their loved ones off in Lot 3 (W. 50th Ave and Lowell Blvd), which has direct access to Boettcher Commons. We will also have a shuttle running from Lot 6 (W. 50th Ave and Federal Blvd) to our drop-off point in Lot 3. View our parking map for additional information.
Give yourself extra time to get to campus from April 30 to May 1! CDOT will be installing sign structures on Interstate 70 between Federal Boulevard and Pecos Street, which will close a lane in either direction. Exit 272 (Federal Blvd) will remain open. Visitors traveling westbound on I-70 can also take exit 271-B at Lowell Boulevard to reach campus. (There is no eastbound exit at 271-B).
Frequently Asked Questions for Graduates
When should I arrive?
All graduates must arrive an hour before the ceremony starts and check-in behind Main Hall (between Main Hall and the Chapel). You should be wearing your regalia (cap, gown, tassel, hood) when you arrive.
Need regalia? Visit the Bookstore in Regis Square by Friday, April 29 to purchase your items.
What should I bring?

Why isn't my name in the program?
If you submitted a Graduation Application after the initial due date of January 17th your name is not guaranteed to be in the program. If you submitted a Graduation Application after February 28th, your name is most likely not present in the program as we have only a limited time to print and publish.

Regis University does not process photo orders, nor can we help you identify whether your order has been processed. If you have questions about your photos, please contact LifeTouch directly, here.
