GUESTS AND VISITORS

Smith College strives to assure access to its facilities, programs and events. Guests, visitors and alumnae come to campus throughout the year to attend events, meetings, commencement, and to take advantage of Smith’s many wonderful resources. The Botanic Garden, the Museum of Art and the Campus Center are open and accessible to the community and visitors. Many alumnae also return to campus specifically for Reunion. Please inform the Reunion planners of any need for specific accommodation such as accessible housing, sign language interpreters, transportation, or special dietary needs.

Events that are open to the public are regularly scheduled in wheelchair accessible locations to the greatest extent possible. If you wish to attend a specific event and want to confirm accessibility or make a request for specific accommodations please contact the individuals or department sponsoring the event by phone or email or call the Office of Disability Services at (413) 585-2071 (voice or TTY). Requests for sign language interpreters or real-time captioning must be made at least a week to two weeks in advance to allow time for arrangements to be made. We will work to fill later requests, but interpreters and captionists are often booked far in advance.

If you need print materials in large print or digital format, requests can be made few days to a week in advance to the Office of Disability Services. Taping or materials in Braille may take longer to prepare. Visitors needing accessible parking may utilize any of the designated spaces on campus with a properly displayed state-issued plate or placard from any state. If you are visiting and need a temporary pass for an acute situation, please feel free to contact the Office of Disability Services. A map of the accessible spaces on campus can be obtained from Public Safety.
