Top FAQs

Does my family need to register to participate?

Can I register on-site?
Unfortunately, due to venue capacities and event planning logistical needs around dining and venue capacity, on-site registration is not available for Family Weekend. We appreciate your understanding and support in helping us plan for a successful weekend experience for all who plan to attend the weekend in-person.
