SPECIAL NEEDS SEATING
Seating is available for family members and guests confined to wheelchairs or for those who have other conditions that prohibit them from walking to their seats. The Registrar’s Office has request forms to be completed by Friday, May 8. Once the form is completed and returned to the Registrar’s Office, the graduate will receive a pass to present at Commencement in order to gain access to the designated 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 we can accommodate one additional person to be seated in that area with each special needs request.
