UCLA Commencement-specific Disability Resources
If you are a graduating UCLA student and would like to inquire about the services available to you for Commencement, please contact the Office of Students with Disabilities to discuss your needs and make your request. In the absence of a ramp or permanent lift, the University has a portable wheelchair lift to assist students needing access to a stage for graduation. Please contact the OSD to learn more.

Parking
Accessible parking is available for disabled and elderly persons near most venues in many parking structures and lots. All vehicles must have a UCLA parking permit and, if parking in areas reserved for disabled or elderly persons, either a DMV handicapped plate or placard or a UCLA Office for Students with Disabilities-issued Parking Identification card. Parking permits, which cost $8.00, are available through Parking & Commuter Services and the UCLA Central Ticket Office prior to Commencement Weekend and at Parking/Information Booths on the day of Commencement. Vehicles displaying DMV issued plates or placards are not charged a fee for parking.

The Office for Students with Disabilities will begin distribution of Parking Identification cards in May 2008. Please call (310) 825-1501, e-mail emcclosk@saonet.ucla.edu or stop by the office at A-255 Murphy Hall.
