Fall Family Weekend Registration

Fall Family Weekend registration will begin in early September

Registration for Fall Family Weekend 2008 will begin in early September through an online, first-come first-served process. You will receive an email from the Parents Association Listserv with a specific date the registration system will open the first week in September.

Please be advised that there will be NO REFUNDS issued for Family Weekend event tickets, so please determine your ability to attend and the number of event tickets you are purchasing prior to registration. Payments accepted for Family Weekend include a Visa or Mastercard debit/credit card payment only.

In order to register, you will need to enter the online event registration system, which is structured the same as the membership database through which you purchased memberships, renew memberships, and update your contact information. If you have not logged into our membership database system prior to Family Weekend registration, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the membership database. You will need your e-mail address and your Parents Association member ID (found on your membership receipt or on the mailing label of any Parents Association publication) in order to log on to update your information and/or complete Family Weekend registration. Go to http://parents.utk.edu/ and click on "Update My Account."

*You can login to the system to view your membership information and update contact information at any time. We suggest doing so prior to September to ensure you know how to accurately login and have the correct e-mail and password. Contact our office for questions about logging into the membership database and/or the online event registration system. Don't wait until September, when other families are registering for Family Weekend to make sure you can accurately maneuver within the system!

There is a two-step process to register for Family Weekend. The first step, you will enter the Parents Association Event Registration System and purchase tickets to the Family Weekend events which you are interested in attending.
