PARKING Parking is available on campus in designated lots on a first-come basis. When the lots on campus are filled, the entrances will be closed. Additional parking is available next door in the Scrimmages parking lot and behind the DoubleTree Hotel, both within walking distance of the campus. A shuttle bus is available to transport guests to a location near the commencement lawn. Guests are encouraged to plan their arrival early enough to allow adequate time to reach their seats.
TOBACCO FREE CAMPUS Widener University has adopted a Tobacco Free Policy on all campuses. Use of any tobacco product is prohibited on campus.

SPECIAL NEEDS PARKING AND SEATING Seating and parking are available for family members and guests using wheelchairs or for those who have other conditions that prohibit them from walking to their seats on the lawn. Forms to obtain tickets to the special seating area are available at the Registrar’s Office or on the website. Completed forms must be returned by Friday, May 10, 2013. Upon receipt of the completed form, the graduate will receive a pass to present at commencement in order to gain access to the designated parking and seating areas. Requests received late will be honored on a space-available basis. Due to the limitations of seating space, we cannot guarantee that entire families will be seated in the special needs section but will permit one additional person to be seated in that area with each special needs request. Wheelchairs and ushers are available to assist guests with difficulty walking from the special needs drop-off point to the seats. Due to a limited number, the wheelchairs are not available for use as seating during the ceremony.  A live video feed of the entire ceremony will be viewable from all rooms in Polishook Hall. Guests with special needs and families with very young children are particularly encouraged to make themselves comfortable in Polishook Hall, if outdoor conditions are not favorable.
