Different advanced degree schools have different ticket exchange procedures. Please contact your school’s Commencement Coordinator for questions on the ticket exchange. Graduates are strongly encouraged to exchange general Commencement tickets for accessible seating tickets as soon as possible following May ticket distributions.
Please note: Accessible seating tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be distributed until all tickets are gone. In order to accommodate as many family members and friends with disabilities as possible in the reserved seating area, individuals with an accessible seating ticket will be permitted to have one companion accompany them into the accessible seating section. The companion must also have an accessible seating ticket. Harvard will make every effort to accommodate parents and guests without accessible seating tickets on Commencement Day, however accessible seating is limited and advanced planning is strongly encouraged.
