Accessible seating at The Sonnentag is available on the first floor of the event center. Guests who cannot navigate stairs or bleachers may sit in an accessible seating location, which will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to availability. We ask that only individuals requiring accessible seating occupy this section. Guests who require wheelchair-accessible and companion seating (1 guest) must email commencement@uwec.edu to notify staff.

Personal chairs, stools, or seating equipment other than wheelchairs will not be permitted inside of the event center. Additional information about accessibility can be found on The Sonnentag website.

Professional photographers from Grad Images will take photos of all graduates as they receive their diplomas. You can pre-register for photos for a 20% discount. Please exit the arena immediately following the ceremony so that we may reset for the next ceremony. 

Both ceremonies will be broadcast live on UW-Eau Claire's website, YouTube Channel or Facebook Page.
