Accessibility Support for Guests

The University of Michigan wants to ensure that all graduates, candidates and guests can participate fully in Commencement. The following arrangements are made in cooperation with the Accessibility Task Force of the Council for Disability Concerns.

The doors at the WEST entrance (off Thayer) will open at 4:30 p.m. for any guests with mobility limitations (wheelchair, walker, etc.) so that they can be seated before we open the doors to the general public. By entering Hill Auditorium from the WEST entrance you will be nearest the ramps into the auditorium. Ushers will be available to assist in locating wheelchair-accessible seating and restrooms for guests.

Please contact Stephanie Van't Land ([email protected]) if you have any questions regarding your guests' needs.

Closed captioning will be provided and a sign language interpreter will be signing on stage.

All graduates, family and friends are invited to attend the School of Nursing Commencement Reception to be held on the second floor of the Michigan League immediately following the ceremony.
