Harvard University welcomes all guests on Commencement Day!
In Tercentenary Theater, accommodations for individuals with disabilities may include but are not limited to accessible seating, wheelchair loan, Assistive Listening Devices, American Sign Language, and alternate program formats, including Braille, large font and accessible digital files. Accommodations are available by request through the Harvard Alumni Association at alumni.harvard.edu/guest-accessibility-requests; please submit accommodation requests via this link prior to Friday, April 24.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early (gates open at 6:45 a.m.) and there will be staff at the entry gates to Harvard Yard providing courtesy wheelchair transportation for all guests from the gate to guest seating in Tercentenary Theater. First aid stations and wheelchair-accessible restrooms are located in Sever, Weld, and Thayer Halls in Harvard Yard. If you have questions about accommodations and the physical access provided for other commencement activities, please call the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) at 617-496-7001 or email haa_collegealumniprograms@harvard.edu.
Accessible Seating Details: The accessible seating section is located adjacent to University Hall and will be clearly marked with the International Symbol of Access (a figure in a wheelchair). Once a request is made for accessible seating, graduating seniors will exchange their guest ticket(s) for an accessible seating ticket(s); exchange details will be provided via email once the request is made. One companion accessible seating ticket is available to each guest in the accessible section; however, when space is available, best efforts will be made to seat a limited number of additional guests (without accessible seating tickets) with the understanding that they may need to relocate if an accessible seating ticket holder needs the space.
