Registration for Family Weekend is open through an online, first-come first-served process. Information about registration will continue to be provided in weekly email communication with all Parents Association members. You should have received email from the Parents Association Listserv with your Member ID as a reminder.
Family Weekend registration is a two-step process. You will first register for Family Weekend and then have access to purchase football tickets in the Family Weekend section. After successful registration, you will be automatically emailed a payment receipt to confirm your registration.
A Family Weekend registration package must be purchased for each person attending the Big Orange Tailgate Party on Saturday prior to the football game. Families are encouraged to bring siblings, grandparents, other family members, friends and neighbors to visit campus for Family Weekend. See below for Family Weekend registration costs.
Please be advised that there will be NO REFUNDS issued for Family Weekend event tickets or football 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, log in to the online event registration system, which is structured the same as the membership database through which you purchased your membership, renew memberships, and update your contact information. You will need your email 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.
*You can login to the system to view your membership information and update contact information at any time. We suggest doing so prior to August to ensure you know how to accurately login and have the correct email and password. Contact our office for questions about logging into the membership database and/or the online event registration system. Don't wait until August, when other families are registering for Family Weekend to make sure you can accurately maneuver within the system!
