The Commencement Ceremony takes place on the Academic Quadrangle in favorable weather, and in the Arnold Sports Center Arena in the event of inclement weather. There will be ample seating, but arriving early will ensure your chance of obtaining desirable seating. There will be limited protection from direct sun at the outdoor location. Guests should plan to dress appropriately.

Ushers and College officials will assist with seating for each ceremony. Special access and seating for disabled or physically impaired persons can be arranged by calling 717-867-6215.

Welcome to Lebanon Valley College’s 143rd Commencement Exercises! We are pleased to welcome family and friends to campus for this important event. Below you will find information and suggestions on how to best navigate campus and find ample parking. We strongly recommend that you plan to arrive early for the ceremonies. We expect nearly 4,000 people on campus that day. You will find it more convenient and expedient to get from parking to the Commencement Site the earlier you arrive on campus.  

The best visitor parking is available in the Edward H. Arnold Sports Center parking lots, located on the north side of campus, next to the sports center. From these parking lots, the Commencement Site (on the Academic Quadrangle) is a five-minute walk. Buses also will be available to take guests to and from the Commencement Exercises. Bus pick-up and drop-off locations will be clearly marked.

For those who need to drop off elderly or special needs guests before parking at the Arnold Sports Center, we will permit a limited number of cars to access East Sheridan Avenue via Route 934 in order to drop off those passengers. Drivers wishing to do so must enter East Sheridan Avenue from Route 934, and must show a College-issued placard on their rear view mirror. These placards are available in the College Registrar’s Office and can be obtained by graduating seniors. Once special-needs passengers have been dropped off on Sheridan Avenue, drivers will be directed back out onto 934 and north toward the Arnold Sports Center parking lot. On a limited basis, exceptions will be made for those drivers who have a handicapped-driver’s pass, also available through the College’s Registrar’s Office.

East Sheridan Avenue will be closed to all traffic at 10:40 a.m. in order to clear the road for the faculty and student processional route.
