Seating

Guests are invited to sit in the stands surrounding the floor of the Edward Jones Dome. Graduates will sit on the floor in sections assigned to their respective College or School. These sections will be clearly marked on the map in the Commencement program, so family and friends can sit on the appropriate side of the Dome. Suggestions as to which sections are near each College/School are included on the maps.

Seating is on a first-come basis. There is no assigned or reserved seating. Ushers will be present to assist guests.

If you or your guest require special assistance, such as wheelchair access, refer to the Guests with Special Needs map for directions to elevators and wheelchair access. For those guests who require assistance walking, we suggest you bring a wheelchair. The America's Center and Edward Jones Dome are large venues and, while attached, there is some distance between particular ceremonies. The America's Center and Edward Jones Dome do not provide wheelchairs.

Photographs

Webster University has made arrangements with Classic Photography Inc., a professional photographer, to record the moment each graduate receives his/her diploma. More information about this service is included in the commencement packet and also can be found at www.gradphotos.com.
