More details about Family Weekend

- If you register for Family Weekend and are unable to attend, you can cancel your registration. Any cancellations made after Oct. 31 will not be refunded.
- The cost is $25 per adult guest (13 years old and older), free for currently enrolled IUPUI students, and free for children 12 years old and younger. The cost is non-negotiable and cannot be split, and registration is required to attend.
- Parking for registered Family Weekend attendees will be provided. Guests will be able to park for free in the Vermont Street Parking Garage, which is connected to the IUPUI Campus Center.
- Your family can attend as many or few activities as you would like. The goal of Family Weekend is to allow your family to experience IUPUI and downtown Indianapolis in similar ways as your student.
- There will be activities for all ages to enjoy throughout the weekend. All we ask is that children remain with an adult family member at all times throughout the weekend events.
