Special accommodations for graduating students with special needs are available upon request.  Please contact the Office of the Registrar at (334) 844-4367 or the President’s Office at (334) 844-4650 to make requests.  All requests for special accommodations should be made well in advance of the scheduled graduation ceremony.

A reserved section will be available at the coliseum for guests with special needs.  This section will be located on the arena floor behind the graduates.  Due to limited seating, only one person can accompany a guest who is to be located this section.  The most convenient access to this section is the ground level entrance on the east side of the coliseum.
