Guests with mobility accommodation needs are encouraged to park in the designated ADA parking area at Ted Runner Stadium. The University will also dispatch wheelchair-accessible vans to our internal parking lots and will route smaller carts to University Station to transport guests with mobility accommodation needs who arrive by train. See Campus Map for locations.
Let us know how we can assist you! The University of Redlands wants to ensure the commencement ceremonies are accessible to all. Please use this form to view the accessibility services already provided and request additional accommodations. Deadline for requests is Friday, April 7.
It should not be necessary to arrive early and stand in line prior to the gate opening time as a way to secure seats with a good view. Ted Runner Stadium has ample grandstand seating capacity for more than 6000 guests! Gates to the stadium will open 90 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony.
Guests will enter via the Serrao Gate at the southwest corner of the stadium. We reserve the right to inspect any carry-in items.
Dress appropriately for the day. Comfortable clothes and walking shoes are strongly recommended. Most often, it is warm and sunny, with little shade provided in Ted Runner Stadium. We recommend using sunscreen along with wearing hats and sunglasses!
Refreshments. For your convenience, drinks and snacks will be available for purchase in Ted Runner Stadium at the concession stand under the south stands, provided by the University's Town & Gown organization.
During the event, lost/found items should be turned in/claimed at the Guest Service Tent at Ted Runner Stadium. Unclaimed items will be stored at the Public Safety Office in the Willis Center.
We recommend booking early as hotel and dining reservations are in high demand and are often booked months before Commencement weekend; see a list of dining options and local hotels.
