Commencement

ADA Accommodations & Accessible Parking Request Form

If you have questions or need assistance completing this form, please contact University Event Services at (802) 656-5665.

All ceremonies at the University of Vermont's 221st Commencement are physically accessible and include use of CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) at all venues. Additional accommodations, including interpreting services, are available upon request by completing the form below.

Because of our ticketing and seating practices we are able to assure seating accessibility for all of our guests. There is no need to reserve specific accessible seating for any guests. Speak to an usher when you arrive to the venue for assistance in getting to your seat(s).

Guests seeking tickets to any ticketed ceremony must connect directly with their degree candidate; only degree candidates are able to reserve tickets.

Completing this form is not a substitute for acquiring a ticket from your degree candidate for ceremonies requiring tickets.

Please consider your mobility needs for the day. Ceremonies and receptions are generally a short walk or shuttle bus ride apart. UVM will have a limited number of wheelchairs available to transport individuals at each ceremony venue between the venue's main entrance and their seat. Please note, guests will not be able to remain in the transport wheelchair during the ceremony because UVM is unable to provide a wheelchair for all-day use. For assistance with a wheelchair at the end of the ceremony, please locate an usher wearing a yellow vest.

If a wheelchair is needed for the full day, we recommend checking with local area vendors for availability.
