Frequently Asked Questions about Sessions
Q: I haven’t registered for Sessions. Can I still go?
A: Yes! If you are planning to attend in person you should register by July 13. After July 13, your registration will need additional confirmation by the Registrar if you are requesting housing or child/youth programs. Walk-on registration is allowed this year, but we cannot guarantee housing availability. If you want to attend online you can register at any time.
Q: I only want to go to one part of Sessions. Do I really need to register?
A: Yes! We need to know who will be on campus and who will be online so that we can make necessary arrangements. You also need to register to receive the Zoom links for online Sessions events. Sessions is a pay-as-led event so you can set the amount—even $0—you are led to support Sessions with.
