Parking and Traffic

More than 5,000 visitors are expected to attend commencement weekend at Samford, which is likely to cause traffic congestion. Samford and Homewood police officers will be on site to assist with traffic and direct guests on where to go. Signs will be posted around campus to indicate traffic flow patterns and identify parking locations. Please follow the directions on the signage and be observant of the police officers. Please use caution while traveling through campus and allow extra time to reach your destination.
