Travel and Parking Tips

We would like to offer some important travel and parking tips as you plan to attend your Georgetown University’s Commencement ceremonies.

Tips for Travel

  • We urge you to consider taking a taxi or ride share to campus due to limited parking. We recommend getting dropped off at 35th & N, O or P Streets, NW to avoid unnecessary congestion.
  • Georgetown University provides shuttle service (GUTS) from Dupont and Rosslyn areas during the week. There will be special Saturday service from Rosslyn only, 7:00 a.m-7:00 p.m. 
  • In the event of inclement weather, commencement ceremonies may be moved. You may visit the Commencement website or call the University Weather Line 202-687-7669 to confirm ceremony locations. 
  • Campus Maps will be available on campus at the Program Tent in Healy Circle and will be posted on our website for printing.
  • Free accessible shuttle buses will be available to escort people from the parking facilities to the graduation site. 
  • Please allot extra time for travel to campus, as delays could occur on the roads leading to the University.

Tips for Parking

Parking for graduation will require patience and a little planning prior to arrival.

  • Please enter campus via Canal Road only
