All general admission seating is located in the bleacher section of the Sewall Center Arena. Individuals with special needs and older adults may find this type of seating inaccessible. Those who should request special needs seating or parking can include:

• Visually impaired
• Hearing impaired
• Wheelchair
• Unable to walk long distances
• Unable to climb stairs

We will make every effort to accommodate you for the ceremony.

Student Life is accepting special needs requests.  If you or your guests require special accommodations, please visit the Office of Student Life in the Nicholson Center or call 412-397-4352 to register.

Because seating is limited, please make reservations in advance. Please note that guests seated in the special needs reserved seating area must have special needs passes for either ceremony.  Special needs guests also need ceremony tickets for the 2 p.m. undergraduate ceremony.

Those with government-issued handicapped parking placards should still request special needs parking to ensure enough spaces are reserved. Commencement ceremony passes are required for guests seated in the Special Needs Reserved Seating area. Due to space limitations, only one family member may accompany a guest sitting in the Special Needs Reserved Seating area.
