Maps and Directions

All Commencement ceremonies will take place on the Evansdale campus in the WVU Coliseum, Creative Arts Center, or Student Recreation Center.

Below are driving directions to the WVU Coliseum, site of the University-wide Honors Convocation and several of the college ceremonies. The other two Commencement venues are near the Coliseum. The site of your ceremony is detailed on the Schedule of Events page. Please refer to the maps for venue specific parking.

Gold and Blue Student Ambassadors will be on-site in the various parking areas to assist guests.

Also, note that the School of Nursing Reception will take place at the WVU Touchdown Terrace prior to their ceremony. Nursing graduates have been mailed directions to this venue. Note that parking will be available in the Blue Lot, between Ruby Memorial Hospital and Milan Puskar Stadium’s North End Zone.

SPECIAL TRAFFIC NOTE: After a collapse of a portion of roadway in Westover several weeks ago, traffic patterns continue to be impacted. West Virginia University Police want to warn parents to avoid using the I-79 Westover Exit (Exit 152). Traffic congestion caused by road work being conducted by the West Virginia Department of Highways on Holland Avenue just across the Westover Bridge may result in delays due to traffic congestion and traffic being reduced to one lane in the area. At higher traffic periods, residual effects can be felt on not only on Holland Avenue but also High Street, Walnut and Beechurst Aves near the Westover Bridge.
