Special Needs Parking & Drop-off Areas

A limited number of disability spaces will be held in the parking garage and at the Mitchell Center.

Special needs guests may be dropped off in the Swasey Chapel lot for Baccalaureate and at the Mitchell Center entrance for Commencement. This will ensure the closest, most level access to the event sites for your guests. Consult with the parking attendant on duty at the appropriate site. Courtesy golf carts will also be available to assist guests.

Shuttles

Shuttles will run on Saturday to provide transportation between remote parking areas and event venues. After the ceremony, shuttles will transport guests to all campus parking and residential areas. Signs and maps showing shuttle routes, pick-up, and drop-off points will be posted at each shuttle stop.
