Family Weekend Registration
Online registration for Family Weekend 2024 will open at 10 a.m. (EDT) on July 10 and close at 4 p.m. (EDT) on Aug. 30. The link to register will be posted on this page once live.
Family Weekend welcomes all Gamecocks of all ages. We encourage you to bring the whole family! Be aware that Family Weekend activities take place across campus and involve considerable walking. In Columbia, September can still be quite warm and humid so plan and pack for maximum comfort.
Registration and wristband purchase provides access to three signature Family Weekend events: President Meet and Greet, Rock the Roost, and Family Tailgate Party. You can still attend Family Weekend and visit your Carolina student while enjoying the celebratory atmosphere. Your student may have other events already planned for you!
