Registration Pricing & Refunds
With the new all-inclusive 360 pricing, each registrant pays a one-time $360 registration fee that covers:
- On-campus housing for you and your guest/family/party

- Alumni Colleges
- Free grub at the food trucks
- Free childcare for children 3 yrs+
Each alumnus/a attending reunions and any spouse, partner, or adult guest of the alumnus/a pays the registration fee. Children are not charged a registration fee.
If you only wish to join your classmates on the Hill for dinner (if you live locally, for example), contact us at hamily@hamilton.edu so we can make arrangements.
Individuals will be reimbursed in full for cancellations of registration, housing, and meals made by Thursday, May 29. Due to planning commitments we make with off-campus vendors and other partners, we regret that we cannot offer refunds for cancellations received after this date.
Registration fee refunds are subject to a $10 registration processing fee.
For help with your cancellation or refund, call the Alumni Events Office 866-729-0319. We do not process refunds during Reunions Weekend (June 5 - 8).
You can not modify your reservation online once it is submitted, but we will happily assist you in making changes. Contact hamily@hamilton.edu.
All meals, including class dinner, are included with your registration. You do not need to select which meals you plan to attend-- just grab a plate!
Housing
Yes! Relive your time on the Hill by rooming in a residence hall! It is free to stay on campus if you are registered to attend reunions, but you may of course opt to secure your own off-campus accommodations if you prefer.
Register for on-campus housing during your registration process by answering "YES" to the question about staying on campus. You'll then be prompted to answer other questions about housing needs for yourself/family/ roommates. Direct any questions about on-campus housing to our Housing Coordinator at hamdorm@hamilton.edu.
Please email our Housing Coordinator at hamdorm@hamilton.edu.
Packages with the following items will be provided for each bed: two towels (slightly larger than hand towels in size), one washcloth, top and bottom sheets, one blanket, one pillowcase, and one pillow. We recommend bringing bathrobes, hangers, shower shoes, hand soap, and a portable crib for infants and toddlers. You may want to consider bringing a fan for warm nights and/or extra blankets for cool weather.
The rooms do not contain clothes hangers, refrigerators, microwaves, hair dryers, or ice buckets, or toiletries.
Unless registering as a couple or family, most alumni will likely complete their own registration. If you plan to share a room on campus with friends, each person registering will indicate "YES" to the question about staying on campus, and then select "I'm rooming with my friends." You'll list the names of your intended roommates in the field that appears. Each person in your room will do this on their own registration.
For example, if Bart, Lisa, and Maggie want to share a room, Bart will list Lisa and Maggie as roommates. On Lisa's registration, she will list Bart and Maggie as roommates. When Maggie registers, list Bart and Lisa.
When you register for on-campus housing, you can request a private bathroom, and we will take this into account when assigning your room. However, you should know that the majority of rooms on campus use shared bathrooms, and there are very limited options for on-campus rooms with a private bathroom. If having a private bath is a necessity, you may be more comfortable securing a reservation at a local hotel.
The Alumni Office clusters class years together when assigning rooms and works very hard to make this possible.
Contact our Housing Coordinator at hamdorm@hamilton.edu.
During the room assignment process, we are mindful of finding the best possible placements for families with children. We're here to help, so contact us with questions at hamdorm@hamilton.edu.
When you are registering for on-campus housing, select the room type with the number of beds you'll need for each member of the family. For example, a family with two parents and two kids would need a quad. But two parents who are bringing a pack-n-play for their toddler would only need a double. Families requiring more than 4 beds should contact our Housing Coordinator at hamdorm@hamilton.edu.
If you arrive outside of registration hours, call Campus Safety (315-859-4141) and they will be able to let you into your room. Keys to your room may be picked up the following morning at registration (Kirner-Johnson).
After removing all your personal items from your dorm room and returning the room to its original condition, we ask that you keep your key with you and you lock the dorm door. Please return your key to its key envelope and deposit it in the key drop box located in Kirner-Johnson 102 during registration hours or just outside of Kirner-Johnson 102 when registration is closed. If you have lost your key envelope, please take a blank envelope from near the drop box and write your dorm, room number, and name. Make sure that friends/family with extra keys return their keys properly as well.
