Assistance for Persons with Disabilities
Mobility impaired Parking
A limited number of handicapped parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis on the Lacrosse Hall of Fame parking lot entered from W. University Parkway. A handicapped hangtag or license plate is required.
Passengers with disabilities may also consider being dropped off in front of the Schelle Pavilion on W. University Parkway.
Mobility impaired Seating
Seating for guests who use wheelchairs, as well as those with limited physical mobility or medical conditions, will be available both on the field and in the lower stands. Due to space constraints, guests with disabilities who are seated on the field may be accompanied by one escort only.
Arrangements for this type of seating may be made during regular business hours by calling 410-516-7711 or email commencement@jhu.edu as far in advance of the event as possible. There is no guarantee that an accommodation can be made if the request is received after Thursday, May 17, 2012.
Wheelchair Rentals
For wheelchair rentals/accommodations, please call Northern Pharmacy at 410-254-2055, ext. 241, or e-mail cbroussard@northernpharmacy.com.
Closed Captioning
The ceremony will be closed captioned on the large screens on either side of the stage.
Weather-related Health Concerns
For those guests for whom heat or other weather conditions are a health hazard, the commencement ceremony will be webcasted in Hodson Hall, Room 110 and the Shriver Auditorium - these locations are indoors and air conditioned.
