Guest Seating
Seating for those with special needs is located in Sunken Garden. Seating at this location will be in the sun and no covering will be provided; guests may prefer to wear sunscreen, a hat, and/or long sleeves. Umbrellas may be used, but please be considerate of other guests’ sight lines during the ceremony.
Additional special needs seating will be available in St. Robert's Auditorium and Malone 112 with a live feed.
In the interest of fairness, only one person from a party may sit with the person requiring special seating. If any guests have difficulty walking, it would be to their advantage to bring a wheelchair. The University does not provide wheelchairs for rental.
All seating areas open at 7:30 a.m. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The saving of seats will not be permitted.
The seating layout for the Undergraduate Commencement ceremony will be available in April 2019.
Participants with Special Needs (including Administration and Faculty)
Those who have a special need that prevents them from using steps or walking the distance between their line-up area and Sunken Garden should notify Tanya Salvini, Commencement Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar (commencement@lmu.edu, 310/338-1945), by Friday, April 26, 2019, to make alternate arrangements.
