Can we make hotel reservations now?
We suggest you make your reservations sooner rather than later. There are a limited number of hotels/motels in the area and in the fall, they fill quickly.
Will there be programming on Friday and Sunday of Family Weekend?
Yes, there will be a movie on Friday and a brunch on Sunday. The majority of the programming will be held on Saturday so if you cannot stay over night, you will still be able to participate in most of the programming on Saturday.
When will the schedule of events be available online?
The schedule will be available in late summer 2013.
We are divorced, but we both want to participate in Family Weekend for our student, how can we do this?
This is not a problem. After you register, email us at familyweekend@sacl.umass.edu to let us know the names of both parents/guardians and we will make up two separate packets for you.
How can my special needs be accommodated? (Handicapped parking, dietary restrictions, accessibility questions, etc)

Are there other things to do in town that weekend?
Yes, there are several other things to do in the town of Amherst that weekend. There will be a special page in your registration packet that will have the information for these events.
