General Questions

Do I have to register to visit my child for the weekend?
You do not have to register if you are simply visiting your child on campus. Registration is to participate in Bobcat Weekend events and activities only. You are always welcome to come to visit your student on campus at any time; however, you may have a quieter experience another weekend if you don’t want to participate in the events.
How much does it cost to come for the weekend?
Visiting your student is free. There is a small cost associated when registering for Bobcat Weekend. Events associated with Bobcat weekend are priced individually, and many are free. Registration is required for all events.
Where can I stay overnight?
We currently have a small number of hotel rooms blocked in the greater New Haven area (The Omni and The Cambria.) There are also many other hotels in surrounding towns. You may want to also try Airbnb/VRBO for another option.
What happens if it rains?
Many of our outdoor events will have tents to keep you dry while enjoying your day. Events that cannot be tented will be moved inside; we will contact you via email prior to the event if the location is changing to move indoors.

What’s a legacy family?
Alumni families who currently have a student attending Quinnipiac University or families who have multiple generations of alumni are considered a legacy family and will have access to register for events on both the family and the alumni track.
Are all of the events handicap accessible?
All events on campus are accessible. Events off campus such as at Sleeping Giant and some reunion locations may have challenges. Please contact us for more information if you are interested in one of those specific events.
Where can I buy Hockey Tickets for games taking place during Bobcat Weekend?
Hockey tickets can be purchased through the Quinnipiac Ticket Office with a special Bobcat Weekend early release link. Limited tickets to the game will be released in the coming weeks. Registering for the Bobcat Weekend Game Watch is NOT a ticket to the arena.

Adding Family/Guests

I want to sign up for another event, how do I do that?
You can use the link in your confirmation email if you decide to register for additional events. You will select the activities the same way you did when registering initially.
Do I need to sign my current Quinnipiac Student up for activities?
Yes, if your current student would like to participate in any Bobcat Weekend activities, they must sign up. This allows us to ensure we have enough supplies, and we are adhering to our fire code capacities.
Do I have to register each person separately?
Yes – each person should be added to your registration. You must choose the affiliation and ticket type for each person (current student, parent, alumnus/a, guest of current student, guest of alumni). Then you can click through activities and add each person to the activities they would like to attend.
I forgot to add another guest. How do I do this?
Through your confirmation email you will be able to log in and add guests the same way you registered yourself.

I added someone to my account, but it won’t let me click to register them.
