We recommend you park in SF State’s Lot 20. There may be parking available along State Drive, but it is advisable to park in the garage and walk to the event. Please note that if you park on campus you will need to purchase a permit from one of the machines inside the garage. Permits cost $5 for two hours or $8 for the day.
Photography
Due to safety precautions, guests will not be allowed to go up to the stage to take pictures. We will have a professional photographer taking pictures of every graduate. After the event, graduates will be sent a link where they may download their picture.
After the Ceremony
Because of the number of guests we are anticipating, the Gym not have the necessary space to mingle after the event. All graduates are advised to have a meet-up location on campus. We recommend the courtyard in front of the Gym or the Quad. Unfortunately, guests will not be allowed to wait for the graduates in the lobby.
