FAQs
Do I need to register for any events?
Registration for Family Weekend is highly encouraged but not required. Register ahead of time at tinyurl.com/2018StMUFamily. Registration is required for the StMU 5K for the Neighborhood. Register ahead of time at www.stmarytx.edu/5k or on site the day of the run.
Is there a cost to attend Family Weekend?
There is no cost to attend Family Weekend; however, if you are registering for the 5K, there is a $20 registration fee ($10 for students). Register for the 5K at www.stmarytx.edu/5k.
I see there are two options on Saturday morning. Can I attend both?
The 5K and community service will occur simultaneously, so you will need to choose one option to attend. Families are welcome to join in the fun post-5K for live music, drinks, face-painting, pumpkin decorating and more.
Where can I park once I arrive?
All parking lots will be open to parents and guests over the weekend. Check the map for parking lot locations. Note, Lot H will be closed on Friday, and parts of Lots B, D, I and J will be blocked off on Saturday.
Do I need to check in once I arrive?
Once you arrive on campus, you may head to the first event of the weekend beginning at 4 p.m. Welcome events are separated by school. Check the schedule or check with your child for your welcome event’s location. Check back for more information about the check-in process.
