From late May through mid June, UMBC will host multiple high school graduation ceremonies at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena. During this time, the campus community should expect increased traffic volume and parking demand, particularly around the Arena and Campus Loop.
The busiest traffic periods are expected approximately 60 minutes before and after each ceremony. During ceremonies themselves, traffic movement is generally lighter.
Guests attending ceremonies will primarily park in the lots surrounding the Arena, though additional impacts may be felt across nearby parking areas and roadways.
Faculty, staff, students, and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, allow additional travel time, and use caution around increased pedestrian and vehicle activity on campus during these dates.
