These accommodations include a special seating area for individuals in wheelchairs. Special seating is available only to the student’s guest and one individual who will assist/remain with them throughout the ceremony. Disability seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and seating cannot be reserved.

Graduates who need special physical accommodations for the ceremony should email graduation@esu.edu with their needs and contact information so that commencement staff can make the necessary arrangements.

We are committed to ensuring that our commencement ceremonies are accessible to all attendees. Closed captioning will be available during the ceremonies, both through the live stream and on the video boards at the venue. This service is provided to ensure that everyone can fully participate and celebrate this important occasion. If you have any questions or require a sign language interpreter, please fill out the Interpreter and Captioning Request form. East Stroudsburg University requires a minimum of two weeks of advance notice to arrange for sign language interpreters. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee services if requests are not received within the required time frame.

If you or your guests need additional accommodations, please fill out our accommodation request form.

Parking for those with disabilities is available directly behind Koehler Fieldhouse.
