PLEASE DO NOT PARK in the businesses across the street. There should be ample parking in ETSU's lots.

CLEAR BAGS ONLY!  You will be asked to return any unacceptable bags to your car.  You are also requested to leave gifts and packages in your car.

ABSOLUTELY NO BALLOONS! ABSOLUTELY NO SILLY-STRING!

PLEASE arrive early.  All guests attending must pass through a metal detector.    Security will NOT rush entry or searches even if graduation has already begun.

Use of tobacco products is strictly prohibited in the ETSU Mini Dome.  Absolutely no smoking, chewing or vaping of any kind.

Due to limited handicapped seating on the floor, we are requesting that only two (2) to three (3) family members sit with the person requiring handicapped seating. All other members of the party are asked to sit in general admission seating. This will guarantee seats on the floor for those who need them.

For people in handicapped seating, please remain in the seating area. DO NOT move into the aisles. Stepping into the aisles impedes the graduates during the ceremony.

• Handicapped guests: park on level 2
