Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle Entrance
If you would like to drop off guests with wheelchairs on campus, please enter campus through the Royal Street Entrance, located on Jefferson Blvd. at the Royal Street intersection.
Guests may be dropped off behind Leavey Library on West 34th Street (wheelchair loans are also available at that location). Vehicles will then be directed to park at the Royal Street Parking Structure.
Wheelchair Loans
There is a limited number of wheelchairs available for checkout, free of charge, behind Leavey Library on West 34th Street. Checkout begins at 6:00 a.m., and all wheelchairs must be returned by 9:00 p.m. on Friday, May 10th. Please keep this time in mind if you are planning on attending the evening Viterbi USC School of Engineering ceremony at the Galen Center. Wheelchair seating is available at the main ceremony, with one companion seat. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you require disability services for a School Ceremony, please contact the school coordinator for your student’s ceremony to make the appropriate arrangements. Contact information can be found on the individual school’s page.
For The Hearing Impaired
Closed captioning will be provided on the screens located in Alumni Park for the Main Commencement Ceremony. Additionally, closed captioning can be accessed through the live stream, with a link becoming available on usc.edu on the morning of the event.
On-Campus Shuttles
For guests with limited mobility, a shuttle service circulates among selected tram stops on campus. Due to heavy pedestrian traffic during Commencement, trams will make an untimed, repeated round of all stops, making specific timings uncertain. Consider bringing or borrowing a wheelchair for those who may face difficulty walking.
