    Parking

    Parking around the UC Berkeley Campus can be difficult.

    We encourage visitors to take public transportation.

    Instructions from BART

    1. If you take Bart, get off at the Downtown Berkeley station.
    2. Take the UC Berkeley Shuttle (Cost: $0.50)
      Note that it is possible to walk from Bart to Cory Hall, but the walk is 20 minutes uphill.
      The UC Berkeley Shuttle stop is on Shattuck between Center and Addison. Unfortunately, Shattuck Ave is split at that location, so the shuttle stop can be confusing to find, see the map below:

      downtown berkeley
      The shuttle stop is on the East side (toward the hills) of Berkeley Square.

      Get off at Cory Hall, located on Hearst Ave, just past Soda Hall.

    Parking at the Student Union Lot

    One option is to pay a flat fee of $18.00 for the entire day and park at the Student Union Lot on Bancroft Way and Telegraph. (Google Maps, MapQuest, Yahoo Maps)

    To reach the Student Union parking lot from I-80:

    1. Exit I-80 at Ashby Ave.
    2. Proceed east (towards the hills) approximately 3 miles.
    3. Turn left on Telegraph.
    4. Go approximately 2 miles, turn left turn Telegraph dead ends into Bancroft Way.
    5. The parking lot will be on your right hand side, between Telegraph and Dana.

    There is an attendant at that lot to whom the $18.00 can be paid.
    For details, see the Public and Visitor Parking Page

    From the Student Union Lot, it is a pleasant 15 minute walk to across campus to Soda Hall.

    As alternative to walking, there is a UC Berkeley Shuttle (Cost: $0.50) that runs every 12 minutes and takes 15-20 minutes to get from the Student Union to Soda Hall.

    The P Shuttle will pick up at the Student Union Lot at Bancroft Way, and go around campus.

    Get off at Cory Hall, located on Hearst Ave, just past Soda Hall.

    Cross Hearst Ave to Soda Hall.

    The HP Auditorium is room 306.

    Prepaid Parking

    The campus policy has changed regarding prepaid parking for visitors.
    The following options are now offered:
    • A visitor parking pass can be sent to you in US mail if you contact administrative staff associated with your visit well in advance of your visit.
    • If you are unable to make your request early enough to have a pass mailed to you, you can request that staff leave a pass for you at either the East Gate or West Gate kiosk. You will need to retrieve it from the kiosk attendant who will direct you to where you should park.
    • You can go to the East Gate kiosk, provide the attendant with the destination building/department names and the name of a contact person. The attendant will give you directions for parking and a 20-minute temporary pass to display while you go retrieve a parking pass from your contact person.
      Go to your contact person and obtain a parking pass for the day and replace the temporary pass in your vehicle. Campus parking tickets are expensive. If you do not replace the temporary 20-minute pass with an all-day pass, you will be ticketed.

    Self-paid parking

    If you will be paying for your own parking in one of the non-public lots, you will need to go to the West Gate kiosk. You must enter campus from the West Gate if you are choosing this option.

    Again, you will need to provide the attendant with destination building/department and the name of a contact person. You will be provided with a guest pass along with a $13 daily ticket the can be bought at the parking machine located at the West Gate Kiosk. Note that the machine does not give change. Both the pass and the daily ticket must be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle.
