If you are planning to attend Reunion we strongly recommend registering by April 15 to guarantee a bed on campus.

Rooming requests cannot be guaranteed, but we will do our best to accommodate all requests. You and your guests will be housed together. Note that the majority of rooms available are double rooms (two twin-sized beds per room). Limited singles are available but not guaranteed; due to space limitations, if you do not select a classmate one may be assigned to share a room with you. Beds cannot be held for classmates or guests that are not registered.

Parents/guardians have the option to bring sleeping bags and air mattresses for use on the floor of their room for children. If a bed is requested for a child, the overnight fee is the same as the adult fee. If you have questions about rooming arrangements for children, contact our registration staff  directly.

You will receive your room assignment when you arrive on campus to check-in.

Most residential bathrooms are marked as either single-sex or co-ed during the year. During Reunion I, alumnae and their guests should comply with the designation made by students, as they will still be occupying the residence halls. During Reunion II, classes are free to designate bathrooms by gender if they wish.

In almost all cases, yes. Please indicate your physical/medical difficulties on the registration form, and the registration staff will work with you to determine a suitable rooming assignment.

Increased Connection Opportunities
Because all meals are included, alumnae will have more opportunities to connect while attending meals with each other and with other classes in the new, state-of-the-art Community Center Dining Commons.  This will give you the sense of the student experience.

Improved Food and Meal Choices
Classes will now be able to enjoy hot breakfasts and a larger variety of food options, which include more accommodations for dietary needs and preferences in the Community Center Dining Commons.

Packages cannot be prorated. Please note that packages do not include on-campus housing. To reserve on-campus housing, please make your selections on the housing page.

All meals will be served in the campus Dining Commons in the Community Center. Learn more about campus dining. Menus with specific ingredient lists will be posted closer to Reunion.

In order to be admitted to meals you need to have your blue reunion badge with you.

With the opening of the Dining Commons most meals will be served community style to allow for alumnae from other classes to engage with each other. For your Saturday night dinner your class will be seated as a group in a private space. (Reunion II classes will have assigned locations for Saturday’s lunch)

Mount Holyoke is committed to providing food options that meet the needs of our diverse constituents. See more about dining here. Menus with specific ingredient lists will be posted closer to Reunion.

L’Chaim (Kosher) food will be available for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights until 8:30 p.m.

Each class determines what the fee will be used toward.

Any donation you make to the Mount Holyoke Fund will automatically be counted toward your class’s reunion total unless you note otherwise. For more information or to give now, visit the Office of Advancement.

A full refund, less a $5.00 processing fee, will be issued provided notification is made by email or by phone at 413-538-2201 to registration staff by April 29, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. EST; this applies to entire reunion package(s) and on-campus housing. Cancellations or changes to your registration and/or on-campus housing are non-refundable after April 29, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Check-in will take place in the New York Room, on the second floor of Mary E. Woolley Hall.

EXCEPTIONS: The class of 1959 will check in at their headquarter dorm. The classes of 1944, 1949, and 1954 will check in at the Willits-Hallowell Center.

For your comfort and security, the Association recommends that you make every effort to arrive during open check-in hours. However, if you cannot, room keys only will be distributed by the Campus Police for those who have pre-registered for a dorm room.

Due to heightened security on campus there has been a change in how dorm keys are delivered and returned. Keys will only be given to the registered guest for their room and identification will be required at check-in. Upon departure you will be asked to drop your key off to one of the many locations on campus and sign out.

Thank you for your understanding as we implement these new changes.

Back-to-Class sessions begin at 1:00 p.m. and run through 5:00 p.m.
