Do I have to register, or can I pay at the door?

There will be no event registration at the door for ticketed events. All events must be registered and paid for in advance.

Will I receive tickets?

No tickets will be issued for any event. Your nametag will grant you admission to all events for which you have registered. If you’re staying on campus, you can pick up your nametag at the Reunion Information Center in the residence hall to which you’ve been assigned. Nametags can also be picked up at each paid event.

Will I receive event registration confirmation?

All attendees who have specified an e-mail address will receive event confirmation by e-mail. All others will receive confirmation by mail at the address specified on the registration form. The event confirmation will be mailed separately from the housing confirmation. Event registration confirmations will be sent as soon as the registration is processed. Housing registration confirmations will be e-mailed in late May as soon as all housing placements for all Reunion Weekend attendees are processed.

Who is required to pay the processing fee?

There is an event processing fee of $10 due for each event registration form submitted. You only need to pay the fee once. The processing fee applies to all registrations regardless of the way in which it is received. *Please note: we will be unable to process your registration if fee is not added.

How do I change or add to my registration once it is submitted?

To add an attendee or an event to a previously submitted registration, please call the Alumni Association at 617-552-1865. All event registrations are nonrefundable.

Where do I go if I need assistance?

Alumni Association staff will be clearly identified at each event; feel free to ask any staff member for assistance with any needs that may arise.
