Doors
The Jerome Schottenstein Center opens at 12 p.m. on commencement day.
Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Seating
Admission tickets are not required, but we ask for graduates to please limit their number of guests to no more than six so that we can accommodate everyone. Seating within the Schottenstein Center, including accessible seating, will be first-come, first-served. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for the best seating options.
Some seats will be located behind the main platform or well into the upper level of the arena and, as such, will not provide optimal views of the stage. Video screens will aid in viewing the ceremony, which can also be viewed remotely on the livestream broadcast. Overflow areas will be available in the arena concourse where television screens will also broadcast the ceremony.
Accessibility accommodations
The Schottenstein Center provides easy access for guests with permanent or temporary disabilities. Seating for those guests is located throughout the arena. Guests in wheelchairs, as well as those with limited mobility, one one companion, are permitted in these areas. View Accessibility accommodations for further information.
An American Sign Language interpreter will be present during the ceremony. View Accessibility Accommodations for further information.
First aid
A first aid room is located on the entry level concourse at section 118. Arena ushers can provide directions.
