Online registration for the reunion will open March 17th.
To attend the reunion, you’ll need to purchase tickets online. The process is straightforward and can be completed through the booking link that we will send out in early March.
If you're opting to stay on campus during the reunion, you'll have the opportunity to book housing simultaneously when registering for the reunion. This option allows you to stay close to all the action and relive your college days!
On-campus housing options include suite-style accommodations for up to six people. Suites are configured for either four or six people, with all rooms being doubles. Keep in mind that if your group size is an odd number, you may be paired with another attendee outside of your chosen group.
Yes, beds are per person. Each person staying on campus will need to register for the reunion and housing individually. Attendees staying on campus are required to reserve one bed for every adult.
If you would like to room with a group, before registering for reunion, one member of each housing group should submit this form to receive a unique code. Every suite member will need to include this code during their registration process. Please note, while Yale Housing will make their best effort to house everyone as requested, perfect suite arrangements are not guaranteed due to the unique rooming configurations in Silliman.
No, each person will register for housing separately and can choose their nights.
For the reunion, early bird tickets will be available at a discounted rate of $280 for the first 250 registrants. Standard pricing is $350. This covers meals, drinks, and events for the weekend. Additionally, on-campus housing is available at a rate of $85 per person per night.
Absolutely. We do not want cost to be a barrier to attendance. Financial aid is available via confidential assistance to ensure that everyone can participate in our reunion festivities. To request confidential assistance a from will be available from February 3-24, 2025.
