The commencement ceremony will be held in our historic Alumni-Greek
Theater, an open-air amphitheater located at the southern portion of our
campus.

Although a picturesque site for the ceremony, the rustic setting of
the Alumni-Greek Theater may pose certain challenges to our guests who
have difficulty walking or negotiating uneven steps within the theater.

The class rings will be displayed in the Bookstore. Class rings may also be viewed on the following Web site:   www.balfourcollege.com.
The Commencement Ceremony will take place outside in the Greek Theatre at the University of Redlands.  It is suggested that comfortable shoes be worn, as graduates stand on the grass in the lineup area and must walk across many uneven steps into the Greek Theatre.

Parking
Parking for the commencement ceremony is available on the north side of campus. Follow the directional signs to the designated parking areas:

  • Memorial Chapel (near the Armacost Library)
  • Orton Center
  • Williams Hall
  • Stauffer Science Complex (off Grove Street)

School bus shuttles will be available from:

  • The corner of East Drive and University Hall
  • Orton Center parking lot

There will be no bus/shuttle pick-up to or from the Memorial Chapel or Ted Runner parking lots. Guests attending will be required to walk up to 1/4 mile on an incline; please wear comfortable shoes. Also note that bus/shuttle service is not available to or from the Hunsaker reception area.

Disabled Parking
Disabled parking is located in the parking area behind Truesdail Speech
Center and Glenn Wallichs Theatre. Only vehicles with a valid Handicap Parking Permitcan be admitted to this lot.

For those in need of assistance, the university will provide transportation for the disabled and one companion to a reserved seating area at the top of the Greek Theatre. Due to limited seating, only one companion seat can be accommodated per person with special needs.

The free parking and transport services for disabled guests are for persons who are able to stand and transfer to and from the seat in a small cart (with or without assistance from a family member). If you or your guest requires specialized assistance beyond what is outlined, please call the University’s Facilities Management department at (909) 748-8020 prior to May 18 and we will attempt to meet your needs.
