Frequently Asked Questions:
How are the food trucks working?
If you have a meal plan, you will receive two food truck ticket vouchers for you to utilize!
Why are we doing registration online?
You spoke and we listened! Online registration allows you to beat the line, guarantee that you get a shirt and receive your swag ahead of time. If you do not register online ahead of time, you will need to register at the tent when you arrive. Swag is not guarenteed if you do not register online ahead of time.
What is the Bar wristband? What is the selection? Is anything free?
Beer and coolers are included with admission for anyone over 21. For access to the bar, you will need to purchase a $10 wristband. One wristband will allow you 3 drinks of your choice. Students are not allowed to consume all three drinks in the same hour, they must be spaced out according to the bartender.
Residence Life will card you as you pick up your wristband at the registration tent. The bar area will be on the Clarke Center Patio, outside Milner Dining Hall from 2-6pm.
Will I be able to purchase a wristband on the day?
The online registration will be open all day on Saturday. We highly recommend pre-registering online however!
Where can I go to pick up my shirt and stuff?
Shirts, lanyards and food tickets will be in a packet which will be available on Saturday outside the Clarke Center at the registration tent. They will have your name on a list—you will just need to sign for your stuff! You cannot pick up items for anyone else as everyone needs to sign during pickup.
What does the shirt look like?
They are t-shirts with the color options green, purple or yellow t-shirts with our special Mardi Gras themed Block Party design. Shout out to student Ashley St. Pierre for designing the shirts! Student must fill out the jot form after finishing registration to choose what shirt they would like and their size. ***If you don't fill out this form we can't guarentee your shirt!***
