RAIN PLAN

In the event that the Quadrangle is too soaked by rain and muddy, and/or the forecast the day of the ceremony shows the likelihood of rain, the ceremony will be moved to the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University. 

For information about the Wolstein Center please call: 216-397-4666.

The Wolstein Center is accessible from either Prospect Avenue or Carnegie Avenue, and is large enough to accommodate all graduates, faculty, administration, and guests. The official address of the Center is 2000 Prospect Avenue.  (Note: The Wolstein Center is ADA accessible.)

The Cleveland Marathon is scheduled to start at 7:00 am on Sunday morning. While runners will have completed the race by 11:30 am, we need to anticipate that parts of Chester and Euclid Avenues as well as some cross streets may not be accessable. See the map showing the best route to the Wolstein Center to avoid delay. Also see the Google Map.

If the Wolstein Center is used, the schedule for Sunday would remain the same. Graduating students would report to the Wolstein Center between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning (to receive their seating assignment cards) and the ceremony would begin at noon. The Wolstein Center will open at 9 a.m.  Enter the building at the Time Warner Cable Gate and Gate B.  There will be a cost for parking at the lots adjacent to the building.

If the rain plan is in effect, the Buffet Breakfast will be held on campus from 8:00 am - 10:00 am.

If you ordered flowers for your graduate, the flowers will be available for pick up at the Wolstein Center, Gate D.
