Accessibility Services for People with Disabilities

Due to the large number of guests, we will release all accessible needs seats after 9:20 a.m. All guests must have a ticket to enter Hinkle Fieldhouse. We are pleased to provide family members and guests, who have accessibility needs, a reserved area. Students must indicate this information on the commencement ticket order form, and tickets designating wheelchair and accessibility seating will be issued. As you consider your need for accessible tickets please be aware that accessible seating for wheelchair users is available only on the first floor of Hinkle Fieldhouse. Hinkle Fieldhouse does not have an elevator. A ramp system accesses the upper seating areas. The first three rows in Hinkle Fieldhouse are reserved for individuals with mobility impairments but who do not use wheelchairs. Unfortunately because all accessible seating is limited we cannot seat the entire family. We can only accommodate one guest to be seated with a family member in this section. Parking passes for those with mobility impairments should be requested on the ticket order form as well. If you need accessible seating accommodations, it is important you provide early notification of these needs due to limited seating.

Parking

Your state-issued disability placard or a Butler University issued permit are required for special parking considerations. Butler University issued permits must be requested on the ticket order form. Any vehicle may enter the Hinkle lot to drop-off guests who are not able to walk long distances.

Wheelchair accessibility

Wheelchair access is available at the south end, Gate 4 of Hinkle Fieldhouse. Ushers will refer guests to the wheelchair accessible seating areas. One companion will be permitted to sit with the wheelchair user. Please request a companion ticket on the ticket order form. 

Auditory assistance

Accommodations for those who are hearing impaired will be provided in the form of an American Sign Language interpreter. Please inform us so that we can direct you to an area within close proximity to the interpreter. Phonic Ear Sound Enhancement is also available to amplify stage dialogue. Guests may pick up their individual receiver at the information desk located inside Gate 4. A photo ID or credit card will be held while receiver is in use. 24 receivers will be available on a first come first served basis. Guests may be seated anywhere in Hinkle to use the phonic ear sound enhancement receivers.

If you have any questions, please call Student Affairs at (317) 940-9570 or 1 (800) 368-6852 extension 9570.
