There is no central check-in for Family & Friends Weekend. Instead, guests should check in at each event, activity, or excursion they have registered for.

Look for our Student Ambassadors in uniform at each registered activity. They will check you in and help answer any questions you may have along the way.

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early for your registered activities, so you have time to check in and get settled.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Casual attire for a climate that can be hot, humid, and wet at times
  • Comfortable, water-resistant footwear
  • Umbrella or Poncho

You may also need (depending on the weather):

  • Battery pack
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Lightweight backpack or totebag
  • Lip balm with SPF
  • Small, portable electric fan

 

 

Your student does not need to be with you for you to register or participate in any of our events during Family & Friends Weekend unless otherwise noted on the registration page.
