All family members are invited to attend Family Weekend. During the weekend, parents will have an opportunity to experience student life and attend events provided by the Office of Parent Programs. This exciting weekend of events is designed for UA families to have the opportunity to connect with one another, become more familiar with campus, and spend time with their students.
During Family Weekend, the Crimson Tide will take on The University of Louisiana at Monroe Warhawks!
Family Weekend registration information will be shared later this semester."

I just reserved a room, and there are few options still available, so book right away.
Our daughter, our eldest, will be a Freshman, and both my husband and I definitely plan on going to Family Weekend. What is the advice on bringing our two younger kids – ages 16 and 12? (The kids all get along well, FWIW.)
@mmom99, We have an incoming freshman student so we have never done this before! But I want to come to Family Weekend! Hotels in town are booked up, or expensive, as you said! We just booked a room at the Hampton in Bessamer Alabama, 30 miles away, along our route to/from home. Hopefully that will work out. Family weekend itself does not seem to have registration available yet, is that correct? Anyway, no details about events are scheduled yet. Can anyone tell me what usually goes on Sunday?
I think that is correct. Registration should open up soon! Sorry you couldn’t get a room in town. I’ve read to check closer to the date, as rooms might open up at the last minute.
Thanks @NCEdwards4 but I was selectively looking for a place to use my husband’s Hampton/Hilton points, but he doesn’t want to use so many for the Hampton in Tuscaloosa that weekend (they raised the points to 50,000 I think!) so we went further out to get a lower point rate.
