Special Needs Accommodations

Holy Family University, in an effort to meet the needs of its graduating students and their families and friends, will provide special accommodations for the ceremony. These accommodations include reserved seating for persons with physical challenges or hearing impairments. A sign language interpreter will sign throughout the ceremonies.

Preferred seating is available only to the graduate’s special need guest and the person who will assist and remain with the special need guest throughout the ceremony. All other guest tickets may not be necessarily next to or near the handicapped guest although every effort will be made to keep all guest seats together. Graduates should make requests for special needs seating on the electronic registration form, which must be completed by Wednesday, March 14. Graduates with questions concerning tickets for guests who are physically challenged should contact Marilyn McCormac at 267-341-3207 or Dr. Sylvester Kohut Jr. at 267-341-3679.

Wheelchair accessible seat locations are available throughout Verizon Hall. Restrooms are ADA-compliant and are available on all levels. Assisted listening devices are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Guests in need of listening devices should inquire with the house management upon arrival. A limited number of ADA-compliant parking spaces are available in the basement level parking garage of the Kimmel Center on a first-come, first-serve basis.
