Guests with Special Needs

*Note to Guests: Traffic will be extremely heavy, so be sure to arrive early, especially if you want to see the stage!

Commencement is an exciting day for our graduates to share with their families and friends.  We hope the following information will help guests with special needs to enjoy the day with their graduate.  

• Disabled parking for those with handicap placards is available in Lot 351.  Please follow the parking attendants' directions.
• The commencement site is approximately 1/4 mile from the parking lot.  An ADA certified ramp is available for those in wheelchairs.  We regret the university is not able to provide wheelchairs for guests.  The first/last chair of each row may be removed to accommodate wheelchairs. 
• ASL interpreters will be on stage throughout the ceremony.  A limited number of assisted listening devices are also available.  If you require listening assistance, please email muirdeansoffice@ucsd.edu.
• There is limited shaded seating available on a first come, first served basis.  This seating is available to those in need and one additional guest.
