Commencement ceremonies are held in various venues depending on each school or academic program. Several academic ceremonies, along with the main University Ceremony, will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Commencement ceremonies are among the largest annual events at USC and may involve significant pedestrian traffic, security screening, and venue-specific access procedures. Accessible seating, mobility access routes, communication access services, and other accommodations vary by ceremony location.
Guests and graduates requiring disability-related accommodations are encouraged to review commencement accessibility information in advance and submit any requests as early as possible.
