Important Reminders for Reunion Weekend

Online registration for Reunion Weekend is now closed, but if you still wish to attend, please call the Office of Alumni Relations at 203-254-4280 for assistance. Already planning to come to Reunion? Please make note of these important reminders:

  • Friday Arrivals: If you are attending a reception on campus OR staying in campus housing on Friday night, you must pick up your registration packet and/or housing key in the Aloysius P. Kelley Center between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. Housing key pick-up will only be available until 10 p.m. so please be sure to get your key before going to your evening reception.
  • Saturday Arrivals: Check-in will open at the Kelley Center beginning at 9 a.m. and will continue through 4 p.m. Check-in will close from 4 – 6 p.m. to relocate to our evening location; however, housing key pickup will remain open until 6 p.m. After 6:30 p.m., all guests can check in and pick up their housing keys at Bellarmine Hall.

**For security purposes, all alumni must pick up their own housing keys; keys will not be given to friends. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 203-254-4280 to make arrangements prior to your arrival.**

  • Guests may park in any available lot as well as the parking garage on campus throughout the weekend, with the exception of the Rafferty Stadium lot and the Bellarmine Hall lots on Saturday evening. Please take care to park in valid parking spots. 
  • Please note that drink ticket sales at the Friday night Kick-Off Reception in the DSB and the Bellarmine Dinner Dance are CASH ONLY. We also recommend that you bring cash in case you would like to purchase additional meal vouchers on-site at the Taste of Fairfield, as credit card purchases can only be made inside the Kelley Center.

Fairfield University recommends that all visitors be vaccinated or be able to produce results of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of a campus visit. For the latest information regarding Fairfield's COVID-19 policies and response, visit fairfield.edu/healthyu.

Children

Children and grandchildren are welcome at the Taste of Fairfield and other daytime activities on Saturday. Please be sure to include children’s names in your registration. Children are not permitted at the Friday night receptions or Saturday evening dinner dance. Due to limited space, we are unable to provide overnight on-campus accommodations for children.

Smoking and Drug Policy

As of January 1, 2018, Fairfield University is designated as a smoke-free, tobacco-free environment. The use of tobacco and tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco or snuff, and electronic cigarettes on campus is prohibited. In addition, all illegal substances are prohibited on campus. Anyone found in violation of this policy will be dealt with appropriately by the Department of Public Safety and the Fairfield Police Department.

Walk-in registrations for event tickets and housing (when available) may be paid for via cash or credit card. Drink tickets for the Friday night reception at the DSB, as well as for the Bellarmine Dinner Dance on Saturday, are CASH ONLY.

A special Reunion Weekend Mass will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. In addition, the weekly Sunday Mass will take place in the Chapel at 11 a.m.

There is no assigned seating for this event. Tables in the tent on Bellarmine Lawn are in sections by class and consist of 10 seats per table.

Saturday Daytime Activities: Casual weather-appropriate attire (please note, much of Saturday's programming is held outside rain or shine).

Evening Dinner Dance: Springtime evening cocktail/"summer wedding" attire is recommended. As it can get cool at night, we recommend a jacket, sweater, or wrap and moderate heels or flats that are easy to walk in on grass.

At the Taste of Fairfield, we recommend that you speak with the vendors directly for information regarding their offerings. The dinner on Bellarmine Lawn is served buffet-style and menus indicate items that are vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. Please call the Office of Alumni Relations at (203) 254-4280 for more information and/or indicate your needs on your registration form.

Housing Questions

On-campus housing is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited by building by class. Please note that due to deadlines for ordering linens and supplies, housing reservations will not be accepted after Thursday, June 2 at 5 p.m. EDT, or whenever we reach capacity, whichever comes first. In the event we are able to open up a limited number of rooms after this date, rush charges will be incurred.

Please note, for those staying Friday night only, you must check out of your room/return your key to the Housing Desk in the Kelley Center by 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. 

Due to ongoing housing renovations and campus construction, housing is subject to change at any time, but our anticipated housing options are as follows:

Class of 1977
Suite-style housing in Langguth Hall, the newest residence hall in the Quad. Suites consist of two bedrooms with two twin beds per room, and a shared bathroom in the suite. This residence hall is air conditioned.

Class of 1982 and 1987
Suite-style housing in Langguth, Kostka, or Claver Hall. Suites consist of two bedrooms with two twin beds per room, and a shared bathroom in the suite. This residence hall is air conditioned. Residence hall assignment will depend on overall registration numbers and capacity in each.

Classes of 1992 and 1997
Suite-style housing in Kostka Hall or Claver Hall. Suites consist of two bedrooms with two twin beds per room, and a shared bathroom in between the two bedrooms. These residence halls are air conditioned.

Classes of 2002, 2007, and 2012
Traditional Quad residential housing in Campion or McCormick Hall. These rooms have two twin beds per room with communal bathrooms on each floor. These residence halls are air conditioned.

Class of 2017
Traditional Quad residential housing in Jogues or McCormick. These rooms have two twin beds per room with communal bathrooms on each floor. These residence halls are air conditioned. If needed, overflow housing will be in Regis Hall, which is not air conditioned. Rooms will be assigned in order of registration.

Housing is extremely limited and is only available for alumni and guests registered for official Reunion Weekend events. In order to stay in campus housing on Friday night, tickets for either a Friday night reception or the Taste of Fairfield on Saturday must be purchased, and to stay on Saturday night, a ticket to the Dinner Dance must be purchased. Room-only reservations, without the corresponding event tickets, will be cancelled.

Friday housing key pick-up will be in the Aloysius P. Kelley Center from 4 - 10 p.m. Saturday housing key pick-up will be in the Kelley Center from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. and in Bellarmine Hall from 6:30 - 9 p.m.

Yes. You may indicate your roommate request(s) on your registration form. Each roommate must request the other to be placed together. For parties whose roommate requests exceed the accommodations of their rooms (i.e., 3 requests for 2-bed room), we will do our best to house you near each other but this is not a guarantee. Many alumni attend Reunion without a spouse or a guest. Please plan ahead to find a roommate or if necessary, one will be assigned to you. Spots in rooms cannot be held for roommates who have not yet registered. Please note that this also applies to those staying in suite-style rooms (two rooms with a shared bathroom); we cannot hold a side of a suite or guarantee that your requested suitemates will be placed on the other side of your suite if they register at a much later date.

When packing to stay on campus, please remember that campus housing contains only the basics. Lightweight linens, towels, blankets, and pillows will be provided. You may want to bring along hangers, extra pillows and blankets, and extra towels. Fans are also recommended, particularly for those staying in a residence hall that is not air conditioned.
