Animals at Commencement

Cal State Fullerton welcomes service animals on campus, as long as they remain harnessed and rest in the seating area of the individual with a disability. All service animals must stay in ticketed areas and may not block any aisle, hallway, etc. Service animals are working animals trained to perform tasks for the benefit of individuals with a disability including physical, intellectual, sensory or psychiatric disabilities. Animals whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Please leave pets at home for their safety and comfort as the Commencement environment may have large crowds, heat, noise and a significant amount of activity. Please note California State Law prohibits leaving an animal inside a confined vehicle.

First Aid Station

A first aid station for minor concerns will be located within the vicinity of both ceremony sites. Please ask a Commencement volunteer for direction. If you or someone around you appears to be having a medical emergency, please call 911 immediately.

Cooling Station

In the event of inclement weather, a cooling station will be located within the vicinity of both ceremony sites. Please ask a Commencement volunteer for directions. Shade will be limited at Commencement locations, so please plan accordingly.
