Q: How do I RSVP for Reunion Weekend and what is the deadline?
A:You may RSVP online here. Make sure you take note of the two types of registration: A la Carte or Discounted Packages (if you’ll be attending multiple events, it’s the best value!). RSVPs (and refunds) will be accepted no later than October 13.

Q: Does Reunion Weekend take place the same weekend as Homecoming?
A: No, Reunion Weekend takes place October 23-24, and Homecoming will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2009. Reunion Weekend is held on its own weekend in order to accommodate expanded social, academic and entertainment opportunities for Classes and Eras celebrating particular milestones.

Q: How do I find out which of my classmates are attending Reunion Weekend?
A: The Reunion website will be updated frequently with lists of who’s coming starting in mid-August. Click on your class page and then “Who’s Coming?” to find the attendance lists.

Q: Why do some event times conflict with other events?
A: The USC Alumni Association and Class Reunion committees want to make sure there is a wide array of activities during Reunion Weekend so there’s something for everyone. You will not be able to attend everything, so hopefully the events you want to attend do not conflict. Additionally, some Parents Weekend programs that may be of interest are listed (their schedule is very different from that of Reunion Weekend).

Q: Where do I go if I have a break during Friday activities, or would like to rest?
A: The Alumni House will be open from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., and is a perfect place to rest, grab a snack or browse through old yearbooks.

Q: How should I dress for Reunion Weekend?
A: Overall, Reunion Weekend is a casual event and most attendees dress casual to business casual. In the past, some attendees have brought a change of clothes or shoes for their Friday evening activities, although there is no set dress code. Saturday's tailgate party is a casual event, but make sure to wear your cardinal and gold!

Q: How do I order football tickets and is there a limit?
A: Only Reunion Weekend participants who have registered for at least one paid event may purchase football tickets to the USC vs. Oregon State game.
