Wheelchairs
There will be a limited number of wheelchairs available for guests to use at no charge at the beginning of each commencement ceremony. Guests using these wheelchairs need a wheelchair ticket obtained in advance by a student. If the guest does not have a wheelchair ticket, they should check with the Ticket Office on the day of the ceremony to see if there are wheelchair tickets available before obtaining a wheelchair.
Wheelchairs will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the Viejas Arena meeting center (the small building immediately west of the main entrance). You will need a valid ID to check out a wheelchair, which cannot be taken off-campus and must be returned within one hour after the ceremony’s conclusion.
