Accessibility Information
The Spring 2021 Ceremonies will be May 6, 7, and 8! We are currently updating our plans for accessibility. Please check back later for updates.
Accessible Cistern Walkway
Participants in the October ceremonies will have the option to use stairs or an ADA compliant lift to access the walkway across the Cistern. This will be in place for photo opportunities with family and friends, and/or with President Hsu on Friday and Sunday, as well.
Parking & Drop-off
Please visit our Parking page for details about accessible parking and drop-off locations for each ceremony.
Accessible restrooms
The nearest accessible restrooms for participants are inside the first floor of Randolph Hall (accessible entrance is on the Cougar Mall side, not the Cistern Yard side) OR across St. Philip Street from Cistern Yard in Simons Center for the Arts (54 St. Philips St). Additionally, restrooms located in the Stern Center are available on the ground level and each floor, which are accessible via elevator. Restrooms are available in the Rita Hollings Science Center on the ground level, and this building has an accessible ramp.
Sign Language Interpreting
All Commencement Ceremonies will be interpreted using American Sign Language, and when applicable, captioning may be provided.
Service Animals
Service animals are welcome at Commencement, but must remain on a leash or in a harness at all times.
