FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Which events do I need to pay to attend? The only events that will require an attendance fee are the Family Weekend Festival dinner, the Saturday Brunch and Paint Your Own Canvas. Each event is $5 per attendee, with the exception of students and guests under 5 years of age.. Please be sure to register for as many events as you plan on attending, so we can plan for the correct number of guests.

Do I need to pay for my current Franklin College student to attend family weekend? No. Franklin College students and children under 5 years of age are free of charge.

Where can I pick up my shirts? Pre-ordered shirts will be available at check-in. We conveniently place all your shirts in one bag for easy management.

If I did not order shirts, but decide later I want them, can I still get them? A limited supply of extra shirts will be available for purchase on a first come, first served basis at check-in all weekend long. We cannot guarantee specific sizes or quantities.

When will my canvas be ready? Your canvas will be ready for you to take home the day of the event! Once your paint dries, you are free to take your masterpiece home with you.

Is there a limit to the number of family and friends who can attend? No, the more the merrier!

I can only attend one day. Can I still attend? You can absolutely still attend. When you register, be sure to indicate which events you plan to attend so we can have an idea of when we will be welcoming you to campus.

If I did not indicate that I would be attending an event on my registration form, but change my mind later, can I still attend? We ask that you please register for the events in advance so we can better plan for space and supplies. If that is not possible or if your plans change, please let us know when you arrive at check-in. If the event requires an attendance fee (festival dinner, brunch or pottery) and space is available, you can pay at registration upon arrival.

I have a question that is not answered in this brochure; whom should I contact? Questions about Family Weekend can be directed to the Student Activities Center at 317-738-8096. The Student Activities Center is staffed from 8 am to 7 pm, Monday through Thursday and 8 am to 4 pm on Fridays.
