Parking

Public Parking

Please visit the Simmons Bank Arena (formerly Verizon Arena)  website for parking information.  There are a number of pay to park lots around the arena, most of which will cost $5 for the afternoon.

Student (Graduates) Parking

We’ve reserved 500 parking spaces for students, but we expect nearly 750 students to come, so please carpool if you can. Don’t forget your regalia! You will not be allowed to participate in the event without it, AND your regalia is your ticket into the reserved student parking area, located off of Riverfront Drive directly south of the arena. You cannot park in the reserved student area without your regalia. Watch for signage on the south end of the arena directing you to the student parking area. You can ride and park with your family, as long as at least one person in every car has regalia.

Faculty Parking

Faculty may park in the restricted lot on Washington Street (Washington and Olive).  This lot will be restricted and faculty must bring their UAMS ID Badge to show the parking attendant in order to enter the lot.

Be sure to allow plenty of time to reach Simmons Bank Arena  and find a parking space since traffic is typically very heavy by 9:00 a.m.

If you have questions about the ceremony, want additional information, or wish to leave a comment, email Commencement@uams.edu or 501.526.5600.
