Coordinating with Your Student

Please note that classes are still in session on Fridays and your student will need to attend classes on this day. It is also possible that your student may have assignments, projects or exams that week/weekend. We suggest that you check with your student ahead of time regarding their homework and study schedule for the weekend.

Weekend accommodations are not included in your weekend registration. There are many hotels near FAU to choose from. We encourage you to book your rooms as soon as possible, as hotels do tend to fill up quickly.
