• Drop Off: An ADA and mobility-impaired passenger drop-off point is available in the roundabout on the northeast side of the Moody Center. From the I-35 frontage road, head west on Clyde Littlefield Drive, then south on Red River. Please notify personnel attending the entrance that passengers are ADA or mobility-impaired.
• Accessible Shuttles: A free, accessible shuttle will transport guests with limited mobility from several points around the stadium. A map will be available later this spring.
• Seating: Moody Center offers wheelchair-accessible and low-mobility seating on each level of the venue. In the wheelchair-accessible areas, there will be removable folding chairs, so wherever a wheelchair or scooter is needed, the folding chair will be removed.
• Elevators: Available to guests with disabilities. Check with a Moody Center Guest Services member for assistance.
• Wheelchairs: Mobility-impaired candidates or guests who cannot walk comfortably more than 5 feet are strongly encouraged to bring a wheelchair to the event. Local health supply rental companies can provide rental wheelchairs.
  • The Moody Center has a very limited number of wheelchairs on hand at entry doors. Guests who require additional assistance because of a limitation in mobility can request wheelchair transport from the entry doors of the arena to their seating location. A Guest Services member will escort guests to their seats and arrange a pick-up time to escort them to their departure if desired. This service is available on a first-come, first-served basis and may be requested from any team member at the entry doors. Please note that arena wheelchairs cannot be left with guests during the event.
• Assistive Listening Devices: Assistive Listening Devices are available and complimentary to guests for all arena events. Headsets and receivers can be checked out at the Guest Services booth on the Main Concourse.

The University coordinates professional photos of each graduation candidate as they cross the stage to be congratulated during the ceremony. Graduates and families have the option of purchasing photographs. There is no obligation to do so. Flash Photography provides free color proofs to each graduate. Proofs are mailed to the permanent address within two weeks of graduation. If you do not receive your proof, or if you wish to place your order by phone or email, please contact Flash Photography at 1-800-410-8070 or at http://www.flashphotography.com/.

All candidates must submit their information to graduate before April 11, 2025, to be included in the program.
