Special Needs or Accommodations

The Smart Choice

Accommodations are made for both graduates and guests with special needs. Please email commencement@mcneese.edu to discuss needs beyond those identified here.

Graduates

  • Graduates needing accommodations for the processional, floor seating, and/or recessional must email commencement@mcneese.edu, by Monday of the week of commencement.
  • Seating arrangements at the end of a row will be made for graduates in wheeled chairs.
  • Arrangements, such as limited walking requirements or preferential seating, will be made for graduates with other physical mobility challenges.

Guests

  • An elevator is available on the north side of the Townsley Law Arena lobby.
  • Upper-level seating areas at the arena feature landings where guests in wheeled chairs or guests unable to use stairs to access seating areas may sit during the ceremony. Space on these landings is limited, so guests wishing to sit on landings are encouraged to arrive early. Seating in these areas is first-come, first-served.
  • Information on lodging in the Lake Charles area is available from the Southwest Louisiana Convention and Visitors Bureau.
