Guest Accessibility

accessible Seating

Lockridge Arena has accessible seating located on the floor level and also along the upper-level of the bleachers. These seats can accommodate an individual in a wheelchair and one companion. The east bleachers can be accessed from the Elm Street entrance, and the floor seats can be accessed via an elevator to the first level.

Accessible restrooms are located on the first and second floor of the Student Recreation Center.

ASL Interpreters

If you require this accommodation, please email commencement@mines.edu at least one month prior to your ceremony date to allow enough time to schedule interpreters and work with you on the details.

Closed Captioning

There will be closed captioning available during the ceremony and on the live stream on our YouTube channel. Those who require closed captioning should plan to sit close to the stage so they can see the screens. For those who have a smart phone or other smart device, a link will be provided in the program with instructions on how to access the closed captioning feed on your personal device.

Wheelchairs

Colorado School of Mines will not have wheelchairs available to rent. If you have a guest who is unable to walk at least 50 yards without assistance, we highly recommend renting a wheelchair for the day. The passenger pick up/drop off area on Elm Street offers the least amount of walking for guests.

Parking

Accessible parking is located in the parking garage and a few spots in Lot D. There will be a passenger loading zone available on Elm Street across from Lot D. Please reference the commencement map for locations.
