Travel to Campus

Getting to UCSC

Getting to Santa Cruz is easy, but once on campus, it can be a little confusing navigating the interior and exterior roads.

Two Entrances to Campus

There are two entrances to campus (East/Main and West). Use the WEST ENTRANCE to get to Porter College where the conference is. Once you enter the West Entrance, you will see signs directing you to the conference.

Use the EAST/MAIN ENTRANCE to pick up reciprocal parking passes or pay for a parking permit on Monday or Tuesday morning.
