However, there is a very short window between Commencement and Alumni Weekend, so some aesthetic issues, such as minor floor scuffs, may not be addressed in time. On-campus housing is simple and convenient, but it is not comparable to a hotel experience. If you prefer a higher-end stay, we recommend booking one of the local hotels using our discounted room blocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please note the following when reserving on-campus housing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Townhouses, apartments and suites must be booked Friday through Sunday, with the option to add Thursday.<\/li>\n<li>Residence hall rooms may be booked for one or multiple nights.<\/li>\n<li>One person in your group must reserve the entire townhouse, suite, or residence hall unit and collect payment from others in the party.<\/li>\n<li>Townhouses, apartments and suites are limited to one unit per registrant.

Whether you graduated last year or are celebrating your 50th reunion, this weekend is for you. We especially encourage alumni who graduated in years ending in \u201c1\u201d or \u201c6\u201d to return for their milestone reunion.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to register for Alumni Weekend?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. We strongly encourage everyone to register in advance by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 15. Registering early guarantees you have access to housing, meals and other activities, many of which have limited capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Walk-up registrations will be available, but they are more expensive and availability will be very limited. Some events and housing options may already be sold out. Walk-ups are really intended for those who discover at the last minute that they are able to attend. Registering in advance helps us plan properly and prevents our staff from having to turn people away from sold-out events.<\/p>\n<h3>When does registration close?<\/h3>\n<p>Online registration closes at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 15. After that, walk-up registrations will still be available during the weekend, but they will cost more and many activities, meals and housing options may already be full. If you know you plan to attend, registering in advance is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n<h3>Can walk-ups be accommodated?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, but we highly recommend registering in advance. Walk-up registration exists primarily for alumni whose plans change at the last minute. Prices will be higher and availability will be unpredictable since many activities and housing options may already be sold out. Registering by May 15 ensures the best experience and helps our staff plan for the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>What costs are associated with attending Alumni Weekend?<\/h3>\n<p>There is a non-refundable $20 registration fee per attendee, for all ages.<\/p>\n<p>As you may notice once you begin your registration, we have moved to a new event management platform. While building the new registration we discovered it was easier for everyone to simply include many events and services for free, as opposed to the more \u00e0 la carte approach we've had in previous years. Thank you for understanding that this mandatory fee will help offset these included event costs.<\/p>\n<p>That said, several activities must be purchased in advance through the online registration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Golden &amp; Beyond Luncheon<\/li>\n<li>River Cruises<\/li>\n<li>Waterfront Dinner<\/li>\n<li>Alumni Weekend Merchandise<\/li>\n<li>Campus Housing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Drinks at cash bars, dining hall meals and food truck meals can be purchased on-site.<\/p>\n<h3>What overnight accommodations are available?<\/h3>\n<p>A limited number of on-campus housing units are available through the online registration, including townhouses, suites and traditional residence hall rooms. These tend to sell out quickly, so we encourage you to book early.<\/p>\n<p>We also have discounted hotel rates available at several properties close to campus. Details are listed above under the Local Hotels section.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the dining options during the weekend?<\/h3>\n<p>Some meals require payment in advance through the online registration like the Golden &amp; Beyond Luncheon on Friday and the Waterfront Dinner on Saturday. Meals will also be available in the campus dining hall throughout the weekend, and you can pay for them on-site with cash or credit card. In addition, food trucks will be stationed around campus at specific times.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Alumni Weekend family friendly?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. We offer many family friendly activities throughout the weekend. Look for the Family Friendly icon in your online schedule or in the pocket guide you will receive at check-in.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I wear?<\/h3>\n<p>Most Alumni Weekend events are casual. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since many activities take place outdoors and around campus.<\/p>\n<h3>Are pets allowed?<\/h3>\n<p>Pets are not allowed at Alumni Weekend. However, service animals are welcome. If you plan to bring a service animal, please let our staff know when you check in at Daugherty-Palmer Commons (DPC) so we can make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable visit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-581-9-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-accordion\" data-index=\"26\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-accordion so-widget-smcm-accordion-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"smcm-accordion  navy\"><div class=\"title-container\"><h3><i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-question\"><\/i>Registration &amp; Planning Your Visit<\/h3><i class=\"fa-solid fa-plus open-close\" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"smcm-accordion-content\"> <div class=\"smcm-ac-content-wrapper\"><h3>Can I attend events if I didn\u2019t register for them in advance?<\/h3>\n<p>Some events may have limited walk-up availability, but we cannot guarantee space for meals, cruises or other ticketed activities. Registering in advance is the best way to secure your spot.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I book campus housing?<\/h3>\n<p>On-campus housing reservations are included within the Alumni Weekend registration. One person in the group must reserve the entire townhouse, suite or residence hall room(s) and collect payment from their guests separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I purchase merchandise on-site?<\/h3>\n<p>We strongly recommend purchasing Alumni Weekend merchandise and pint glasses in advance through the online registration. If extras remain, they will be sold on-site at a higher price and on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I change or add to my registration after it has been submitted?<\/h3>\n<p>You may modify certain parts of your registration using the unique link included in your confirmation email.You can add events or guests at any time before Friday, May 15. If you need to request a refund, please review the refund policy below.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the refund policy?<\/h3>\n<p>To request a refund, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at alumnioffice@smcm.edu or (240) 895-4280.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Refund requests received by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 15 will receive a full refund for activities, merchandise and campus housing.

We recommend that your guests join you at check-in so they can receive their wristbands and other event materials at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do I need an event wristband?<\/h3>\n<p>Wristbands are required to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check out recreational waterfront equipment<\/li>\n<li>Ride the Green Door shuttle<\/li>\n<li>Purchase beverages at the bar<\/li>\n<li>Participate in Alumni Weekend activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyone without a wristband will not be able to participate in Alumni Weekend events.<\/p>\n<h3>Where should I park?<\/h3>\n<p>Designated parking areas are highlighted in the Alumni Weekend pocket guide available online and at check-in. The closest parking lot to the Waterfront is the Campus Center lot.<\/p>\n<p>Cars parked in fire lanes or non-designated areas will be towed. Parking at Historic St. Mary\u2019s City, Trinity Church and along the Waterfront will be closed due to church services and vendor access.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a fee to park on campus?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Parking during Alumni Weekend is free.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a campus shuttle?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and we recommend using it. Please leave your car near your housing and allow our trolley and golf cart shuttle drivers to get you where you need to go. The trolley runs on a continuous loop approximately every 15\u201320 minutes during scheduled hours. Stops and operating times are listed on the signboards and Schedule of Events.<\/p>\n<h3>What happens if it rains?<\/h3>\n<p>Alumni Weekend events will take place rain or shine.
