The YSE Diploma Ceremony is being held in the Kline Tower Courtyard this year, which is accessible without stairs. From Prospect Street, there is a ramp leading all the way to the tent area. Under the tent there will be an area reserved for accessible seating. Additionally, this courtyard has numerous benches, chairs, and picnic tables, most of which are accessible as well. For guests wishing to watch the ceremony via Livestream from Burke Auditorium in Kroon Hall, there is an elevator which can be used.
