Commencement Season at NSU; Traffic/Parking Impacted on Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, June 17
In addition to hosting several high school graduation ceremonies, NSU’s Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus has the honor of hosting 10 NSU commencement ceremonies in the Arena at the Don Taft University Center.
On the dates of the ceremonies, we are expecting considerable traffic on and around our campus and carpooling is encouraged to reduce traffic on and around campus. Guests attending the rehearsals and graduation ceremonies will utilize the Alvin Sherman Library parking garage.
To accommodate our NSU community and the visiting public, parking will be available in alternate lots for students, faculty and staff. Library patrons visiting the Alvin Sherman Library will still have access to the first floor of the Library Garage as usual.
Students (undergraduate, graduate and University School), faculty and staff who customarily utilize the Alvin Sherman Library garage will have access to remote parking with Shark Shuttle service. Please see map and park in the following areas during the NSU Commencement ceremonies:
- Broward College parking Garage
- Middle School/Baseball parking lot
- Maltz/Law College Parking Lot
- Health Professions Division (HPD) Garage upper levels
- Residential Halls parking lots
- Horvitz south parking lot
