Accessible Seating for Individuals with Disabilities 

  • Special seating is available for persons who use a wheelchair and persons unable to walk long distances or climb stairs. All venues are accessible by ramps and elevators.
  • Due to limited space, guests with disabilities are permitted to have only one non-disabled person sit with them in the designated seating area.
  • In addition to the existing wheelchair areas, the top row of seats will be reserved for mobility impaired individuals. Reserved seating will be in the seating areas along the top of the 200 level.
  • Specific accessible seating signage will be placed along the top row.
  • The first 3 rows of section 211 are reserved for guests who are deaf or hard of hearing. This section provides an improved direct visual of the ASL interpreter. 
  • Any graduates who need ADA accommodations for the ceremony (e.g., pushing wheelchair across the stage, etc.), please email engr@lsu.edu ASAP. 

Are ASL Interpreters Present at the Ceremonies?

  • Yes! ASL Interpreters are present at each ceremony along with a seating section for those utilizing the service and their guests. Landmark Event staff and venue ushers can help direct you to the designated seating area. For the PMAC, use Southeast or Southwest entries and follow directional signage to Sections 102-103.
