Accessible Parking

Limited handicapped parking spaces are clearly marked and available throughout campus, both on street parking near campus buildings and in campus lots. Handicapped spaces are reserved for vehicles with appropriate state permit. Due to limited handicapped parking, a designated “drop-off” area for the Commencement Ceremony will be located on Campus Drive in front of Hoben Hall, accessible from 1135 Academy Street. Families may drop guests off here for barrier-free access to the Quadrangle then find parking elsewhere on campus.

Campus Parking Lots

For your convenience during Commencement Weekend, most of the faculty, staff, and student parking lots will be available for parking without a special permit. You are also invited to use street parking on campus and in the surrounding neighborhoods. Please follow the posted parking restrictions for street parking, which is controlled by the City of Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo College is not responsible for parking violations.

Vehicles must be parked within marked spaces of appropriate lots. There shall be no driving or parking on sidewalks or lawns, or next to a building entrance. The Kalamazoo College Campus Safety staff has the authority to ticket and tow vehicles that are in violation of College regulations.
