PARKING AND ACCOMMODATIONS
There are several places on campus where guests can park. The Central Garage, which is directly underneath Kane Hall (where the ceremony and reception will be held), has several sections: C2, C3, and C4. All of these lots are pay per use and have the parking codes listed in each parking area. There is also a gatehouse attendant who can help if needed. The Central Garage also has ample disability parking available. If you park in the Central Garage, take the elevator up to floor 1 for the ceremony.
Lot N22 is an all disability parking lot right next to the HUB and not too far away from Kane. If you do need to park in a disability spot, please make sure to have the disability pate or placard visible.
For additional parking services and resources, please visit: https://transportation.uw.edu/park/visitor.
If you or someone in your party needs help being transported to Kane Hall, there are load zones around campus that can be utilized. They can be driven and dropped off at the load zone Kane and you can drive the car back to the initial parking spot.
Students have been asked to identify any accommodations they they or one of their guests might need (i.e. closed captioning, DSL interpretation, wheelchair accessibility, etc.). We have asked students to connect with their guests PRIOR to RSVP'ing so that this information can be included in their RSVP.
CHECK-IN INFORMATION
Check-in for guests will begin at 12:45pm with the ceremony beginning promptly as 1:30pm. Invited guests of the LSJ convocation ceremony will check-in separately from graduates. To the right of the entrance to Kane 130, there will be three tables marked “LSJ Convocation Guest ONLY Check-In” where guests should proceed to complete the check-in process. Each table will have a range of last names (A-G, H-O, etc.) – please ensure you are at the correct table based on last name (of the graduating student) when checking in.
LIVESTREAM
Our ceremony will be live streamed! If you have guests or family members who live out of state, out of country, are unable to attend for whatever reason, they can watch via livestream.
The livestream will officially go live 5 minutes before the ceremony and will promptly turn off 15 minutes after the ceremony.
The livestream page will automatically update when the livestream begins. Depending on browser settings, users may need to press the “play” button on the view player when it appears. Most browsers will indicate the need for this extra step. The livestream will be viewable until 6:00pm PDT same day. The livestream video will be a static camera shot of the front of the room (which includes, podium, screen, and the stage).
HONORS
Special honor cords, if awarded, may be worn by undergraduate students who have earned baccalaureate honors (Cum laude, Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude).

Ticket Information:
Students received an RSVP form to submit. It is the student's responsibility to submit the RSVP form and secure tickets. Note: each student can request a maximum of five (5) guest tickets for the ceremony using the ticketing link. Graduating LSJ seniors are not required to secure tickets for themselves – that is the purpose of the RSVP form. By the week of May 27th, we will know if there is space for additional guests. In the case of multiple requests, earlier RSVP's will have priority. Students who have requested additional tickets will be contacted with further instructions on how to claim them.
The student MUST be the person that reserves the tickets, NOT parents, NOT friends, NOT other family members. We have to be mindful of capacity for our space and we must monitor the ticket list. If we discover someone has reserved tickets that is NOT a graduating LSJ senior, we will be deleting the ticket information.
Parking Information
If you wish to park on campus, parking permits will be required for this event. Students should purchase these permits for themselves and their guests through the Commencement Registration/Order Form, May 7 to May 25, 2025. Day of parking may be available for additional cost, but lot selection and availability are not guaranteed.
