Important Parking Information - Castleton

Important Parking Information We strive to make parking for Commencement as convenient as possible for all graduates and their families. Parking prior to the Commencement ceremony is rarely an issue. After Commencement, however, struggles with traffic congestion can be problematic. With the proper information and a little pre-planning your exit will be as hassle free as possible. Please be mindful of our traffic plan listed below when parking for Commencement and advise your family and guests accordingly. Where to Park All campus lots will be available for parking with the exception of Hoff lot, which is reserved for handicapped parking. A shuttle van will run between all lots and the Pavilion before and after the ceremony. Handicapped Parking Hoff and Ellis Lots will be reserved for handicapped parking. A handicapped car tag will be required. If your guest needs handicapped parking or needs to be dropped off near the pavilion, please contact Liz Phillips at (802) 468-1342 immediately if you have not yet done so.
