  • ​Accessibility Planning: If you have guests with mobility challenges, limited stamina, and/or who might need other accommodations, we encourage you to review the University’s Commencement accessibility planning information, which includes information on special parking permits and other resources.

For our Friday department ceremony, guests with reduced mobility and/or limited stamina may be driven directly to Barton Hall. Please drop them off at the Garden Avenue (east side) entrance, across from Teagle Hall (consult the Cornell Campus Map to plan your route). 

Both our Friday department ceremony and the Saturday university ceremony will include American Sign Language interpreters.

  • Ceremony Photography: We have hired professional photographers to take a photograph of each graduate as they traverse the stage. These photos—along with candid shots—will be shared, free of charge, with graduates after the event. As such, we ask that guests please refrain from standing in the aisles to take pictures so that we can ensure safety and visibility for all attendees. Thank you.
