Parking information
Parking Information for all exhibitors
Due to limited availability of parking on campus, we can only offer ONE (1) reserved parking spot per exhibitor booth each day in the Parkade (Two (2) parking spots are available for Platinum, Gold and Silver Supporters). Parking will be available at the top level of the parkade. An attendant will be checking in exhibitors, ensuring only one vehicle per exhibitor booth is parking in the reserved parking area for the UM Career Fair.
- When entering the Parkade, take a ticket from the dispenser and keep it safe and on your person at all times. We will provide one (1) validation sticker per exhibitor booth and require your parking ticket to apply the sticker. The validation sticker will be given out toward the end of the career fair, each day.
- Parking is available in the University Parkade on a first-come, first-served basis (see map below).
- You may want to consider alternate means of transportation such as taxis, ride services, buses or carpooling.
- All extra vehicles will have to find alternative parking on campus at their own cost. Parking fees vary by location (parkade or surface parking elsewhere on campus). We recommend the Parkade for conveniece and proximaty to the career fair. Check the Visitor Parking website for up-to-date rates for the Parkade and other parking locations should the Parkade be full.
- Please go to the university's Maps webpage to view maps for other parking locations or refer to the map below.
