Getting to Clark
Parking Information
On Commencement day, designated parking lots will be available for guests, faculty, staff, students, and vendors.
Passenger Drop-off
If you plan to drop off guests with mobility challenges before you park, we suggest doing so on Woodland Street, next to Atwood Hall. Guests with state-issued disability parking placard or plate are welcome to park on pre-marked handicapped spots on campus, but we cannot guarantee their availability. Guests with mobility challenges may also reserve a spot in the Charlotte Street parking lot, which comprises 30 spots. Please email Amanda Elinoff at University Police to make your reservation. You will be required to show confirmation of your reservation when you arrive at the Charlotte Street lot.
