Hi. Looking way ahead…does anyone know when Parent’s Weekend will be for the Fall of 2016? I emailed an office I found on the website for parent support, but no response in weeks. We will need to fly in, and I want to put the dates on my husband’s travel calendar way in advance so there is no conflict. Thanks in advance.
I love a fellow forward thinker!
Did you contact Parent Programs directly? Here is their info/# from their website: “If you ever have additional questions, or if we can help in any way, please contact the Office of Parent Programs using the toll-free Parent Helpline at 1-800-392-2777, or e-mail parents@ua.edu.”
The past 4 years have been:
Sept 25-27 2015
Sept 5-7 2014
Sept 20-12 2013
Sept 21-23 2012
…so, some weekend in September!
Usually (based on my sleuthing on CC), these dates are not firmed up until early in the new year. The 2016 football schedule might give you a clue, but that isn’t out yet either (Nov?).
The 2016 SEC schedule came out today.
They will not release the dates for Parents Weekend until late spring.
If I had to guess it would be one of the 2 home games in September. Either Sept 10th or Sept 24th.
FYI: Some hotels are already showing sold out. Marriotts and Hiltons are not showing their dates yet. They are a bit more closely vested and keep the dates to keep from being booked until they have the schedule. VRBO is also a viable option.
