Venue and Travel Information

Many of Drexel's Commencement ceremonies are held in outdoor facilities. With the weather in mid-June being variable, but historically warm in the Philadelphia region, we encourage all guests to use precaution when deciding whether to attend a ceremony and to check the local weather leading up to Commencement.

Prior to and during commencement ceremonies, students graduating must act in accordance with the Codes of Conduct for the various venues as well as University Code of Conduct [PDF]. Students who appear intoxicated or are acting inappropriately during ceremony lineup are subject to removal from the procession line, therefore prohibiting them from walking with their fellow graduates.

View detailed information for each venue:

• Citizens Bank Park (where the University-Wide Commencement Ceremony will be held)
• Academy of Music in Center City Philadelphia
• Highmark Mann Center in Fairmount Park
• Mandell Theater on Drexel's University City Campus

To assist with your planning, we also provide list of local hotels and accessibility accommodations information.
