Online registration for Family Weekend is now open. Please read through all information on this page before proceeding to the online registration form. We strongly encourage you to register for Family Weekend as soon as possible. Due to the popularity of Family Weekend and limited space availability, certain events will sell out. Tickets to events are distributed on a first come, first served basis and will be confirmed immediately upon completing the online registration form.

Online registration will close at 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on Sunday, October 5, 2008. Cancellations, reservation changes and refunds will be honored until October 5 (see details below). Families wishing to register for Family Weekend after October 5 may do so on-site on Friday, October 10 (12:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.) and Saturday, October 11 (8:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.) at the Family Weekend Welcome Center located in the Stamp Student Union. Tickets to events may be purchased at this time if space is still available.

REGISTRATION FEE
A $40.00 Family Weekend registration fee covers the registration of up to four family members plus your UM student(s). Additional family members may be added at a cost of $10 per person. This fee enables us to provide several events during Family Weekend at no additional cost to participants, including Classes without Quizzes, President's Open House & Reception, the Saturday morning continental breakfast, Terp Quest, games in the Terp Zone, and the Ice Cream Social on Sunday. The registration fee also covers the cost of Family Weekend publications (brochure, web site, nametags, maps, schedules, etc.), postage, online and onsite registration services, and your weekend parking pass. In addition, the fee helps to offset our costs for the rental of campus facilities (we must pay for every space we use), facility staff and service fees, parking attendants and many other incidental expenses. Family Weekend is an independent and self-supported event for University of Maryland families and is not financed by student fees or Maryland Parents Association funds.

You can make adjustments to your reservation, cancel specific events or cancel your entire registration by accessing the Family Weekend online registration form using your Registration Code.
