Motorists are being advised to prepare for traffic delays near the University of Hawaii’s Manoa campus as it serves as host to a dozen of this season’s graduation ceremonies.

Drivers and nearby residents should expect heavy traffic in and around the UH Manoa campus two hours before and one hour after each ceremony, a statement from UH said.

“UH asks that everyone attending and traveling near the area to plan ahead and be patient as Hawaii celebrates the great accomplishments of our students,” the statement read.

The Stan Sheriff Center has been the site of more high school graduation ceremonies since the closure of Aloha Stadium. UH is being used more also because of renovations to the Neal S. Blaisdell Center.

On-campus parking will be available and costs $10 per vehicle. UH West Oahu kicked off the series Saturday. All except one of the following ceremonies will be in Stan Sheriff Center.

UH Manoa will hold two commencement exercises Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 to 7 p.m.
