LARGE-SCREEN INDOOR VIEWING ON SUNDAY ONLY FOR COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
We have arranged for a large video screen in the Statler Hall Auditorium to view the Commencement
procession and ceremony indoors, beginning at 10:00am. You may want to consider this option in the
case of extreme heat, cooler temperatures, or to avoid hours in direct sun. Any guests are welcome to
watch the broadcast in the Statler Auditorium on Sunday (not available on Saturday for Convocation).
There are no reservations required and no tickets needed.* To get to the Statler Auditorium, you may
use your yellow permit to park in the Hoy Garage then walk or wheel down the hill to the Statler.
*If the Severe Weather Plan is enacted, then SWP tickets (see below) will be required for admission to this location.
WEBCAST
Family not traveling to Ithaca may enjoy watching the webcast of the procession and ceremony at
www.cornell.edu at 10:00am. The webcast will remain online for viewing at a later time as well.
MEDICAL AND RESTROOM FACILITIES
Medical staff will be available to assist anyone in case of an emergency. A first aid station is located in a
tent near the seating area. Wheelchair-accessible portable restrooms will also be near the seating area.
FOOD AND BEVERAGES
Food and beverages are available at a concession booth located under the West Stands. This is to the
left, or west, of the special seating area. Please feel free to bring your own food to accommodate special
dietary needs. (No glass bottles please.)
SEVERE WEATHER PLAN (SWP) - SUNDAY
If the Severe Weather Plan (SWP) is enacted on Sunday morning, the university ceremony will be held in
Barton Hall (not at outdoor Schoellkopf Stadium, as planned) and a broadcast of the ceremony will be
shown in 2 other locations noted on SWP tickets. Only guests with a SWP ticket** will be admitted into
Barton Hall or a SWP broadcast location, so plan your carpooling to campus accordingly in the event of
severe weather. You may still use the yellow permit to park in Hoy Garage then walk/wheel to Barton
Hall or a SWP broadcast location. Accessible seating in SWP locations is available and does not need
to be reserved in advance, but remember a SWP ticket is required for admission in severe weather.
**Each student’s family received 4 SWP tickets in January (2 to Barton Hall; 2 to SWP broadcast locations).
The ceremony is webcast at www.cornell.edu, rain or shine, and no tickets are needed to watch online.
Note: SWP tickets are for the University Ceremony on Sunday, not for college or department events.
GETTING TO COLLEGE EVENTS AFTER COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY (SUNDAY)
The university ceremony will end by noon. If you will be attending a college event after the ceremony, it
is best to have the graduate and other family members meet you there. It takes 30-45 minutes to get out
of the stadium, so please plan on that time. College events start around 12:30-12:45pm, but please don’t
feel rushed to get there immediately. You can avoid traffic congestion and delays by retrieving a
wheelchair or transport chair from your vehicle at noon then wheeling to the college event.
IMPORTANT: Please review detailed instructions posted online for how you will get from the
stadium to your specific college event: http://commencement.cornell.edu/May/mobility.html.
Turn-by-turn directions MUST be followed if driving. Some venues are NOT accessible by
vehicle and will require walking from the stadium, so you may need to bring a wheelchair.
For information about Commencement Weekend, please visit www.commencement.cornell.edu, or call
our office at 607-255-9541, or email us at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to answer your
questions. We hope your visit to Cornell will be a wonderful celebration enjoyed by your entire family!
Sincerely,
Connie Mabry

HOY GARAGE entry and parking
Parking & Unloading: Enter Hoy Garage from Hoy Road. Continue driving through the garage, up to the
mobility-impaired unloading area on Level 3 (look for signs and ushers wearing red jackets). Do not park or
unload passengers before you get to the unloading area on Level 3. The unloading area is near/level with
the accessible seating you’ve requested, so you must unload at the correct level for easy access and no stairs.
Ushers wearing red jackets are there to assist with unloading and have temporary seating available for your
passengers while you park your vehicle.
Seating: From the unloading area, it’s a level walk (no stairs) into the stadium and to the accessible seating
area at field level. Folding chairs provide back support and the seating area can accommodate wheelchairs
and walkers. There are no seating tickets for this seating area. Someone may sit with the mobility-impaired
guest, and other family members may sit in nearby general seating bleachers.
This parking permit is valid Saturday and Sunday. You may leave your vehicle parked in the Hoy Garage
while you walk/wheel to other events.
Thank you and have a wonderful visit!

Directions for Mobility-Impaired Guests Going to College Events
Commencement Day – Sunday, May 24, 2015
Accessibility plans provide parking & seating arrangements for events at Schoellkopf Stadium, such as the
University Commencement Ceremony on Sunday morning. However, guests also need to plan how to get
to the college/department event they plan to attend on Sunday afternoon, following Commencement.
This document is to assist you with your Sunday afternoon plan.
MOBILITY IMPAIRED – Option 1 Yellow Plan
When Commencement ends at noon, Option 1 guests may leave their vehicle in the Hoy Garage then
walk/wheel to the college event. Option 1 guests may also drive** from the Hoy Garage to/near the
college event to drop off passengers then search for a place to park. After the college event, guests will
walk/wheel to their vehicle or family may pick up.
 **Please note that some venues are NOT accessible by any vehicle and will require walking. If
getting to an event will require a walking distance that is too strenuous, guests will need to bring a
wheelchair or transport chair (retrieve from your vehicle when needed).
You CANNOT drive closer to these venues on Sunday, so walking is required.
Plan to leave your vehicle in the Hoy Garage and walk/wheel to and from these events.
We strongly recommend bringing a wheelchair to use as transportation to and from these event locations,
as walking up/down Campus Road can be exhausting, especially in hot weather. When the ceremony ends
at noon, you may retrieve a wheelchair or transport chair from your vehicle then wheel to your next event.
►Walk/Wheel: From your seating area, walk to opposite end of the stadium, go up short uphill exit to get to the
Campus Road sidewalk, then walk up/down Campus Road to get to your next event (see map).
