Family Weekend Registration
Family Weekend provides a unique opportunity to visit campus, meet Cornell staff and other Cornell families, and participate in numerous events and activities. The weekend activities allow you to create your own schedule; you select those events you wish to participate in, either on your own or with your student.
Be sure to review the schedule of events and other important Family Weekend details before proceeding to the online registration site. There is an overall Family Weekend Registration Fee, and additional events requiring fees and/or advance registration are linked below. Most, but not all, of the weekend’s activities are included in your registration fee. Families can create their own schedules and choose which events, sessions, and activities they would like to attend based on availability, interest, and budget.
