Q: Who can attend Fall Family Weekend?

A: All families of WVU students can attend our Fall Family Weekend, which takes place on our Morgantown campus.

 

Q: What does Fall Family Weekend cost? 

A: Nothing! We never charge our families to attend. However, some outdoor activities do have costs.

 

Q: What is the schedule? 

A: Currently, our schedule for September 2024 is underway! Check back for planned activities. 

 

Q: Why are there gaps in the schedule? 

A: During Fall Family Weekend, we host several unique events. However, we want to give you time to spend with your students. Take them shopping. Treat them to dinner. This is your weekend to hang out with your students. 

 

Q: Do I need to register?

A: We encourage weekend registration, but it is not mandatory. This year (2024), we are planning events requiring registration. Our schedule is slated to go live the second week of August. 

 

Q: How does parking work? 

A: Many areas on campus will be free during the weekend. We will outline the parking in our event schedule. Note: Morgantown city lots are not free. We recommend downloading ParkMobile to park in Morgantown-owned lots. Check out our parking and transportation section for more information.  

 

Q: Can we ride the PRT? 

A: YES! The PRT will be available Friday and Saturday and operating at its regular hours. You can use your student's ID or pick up the phone and say, "I'm here for Fall Family Weekend," and they will allow you to go through. 


Q: Why isn’t Fall Family Weekend during a home football game? 

A: Typically, hotels are unavailable in the area, and parking is limited. Game times are not announced until 7-10 before the game; therefore, we cannot accurately plan a weekend of activities.  

 

Q: Can the whole family attend?

A: YES! Bring mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunts, and uncles! 

 

Q: What hotels are nearby? 

A: Morgantown offers a variety of hotels. Browse the list of hotels.  

 

Q: Are there other activities taking place during the weekend? 

A: We do our best to research everything happening on and off campus during the weekend. You can find that information on our events schedule. 

 

Q: Where should we take our student to eat?

A: Like hotels, Morgantown offers a variety of different cuisines. 


Q: Where can we buy mom and dad gear? 

A: The WVU Bookstore is great for picking up mom and dad gear. During the weekend, families can receive 10% off merch.
