2024 Fall Parent & Family Weekend - October 11-13

Every Fall season, the office of Student Orientation and Transition Services sponsors a Parent & Family Weekend, bringing students and their families together to celebrate the Aggie-spirit while creating lasting memories.

Please ensure you are subscribed for the USU Parent & Family Network to receive updates about USU Parent & Family Weekend.

The deadline to purchase a Parent and Family Weekend ticket is Friday, October 4, 2024. Because each ticket is connected to a football game ticket, we have a no-refund policy for all purchases. Children 2 and under & current USU students get into all USU Parent Weekend events free with their parents & families.

Once your ticket has been purchased, you'll get a confirmation email from Fevo. Your football game ticket will be emailed to you 24-48 hours before the game in October.

Check out our tips to "Weekend Like a Pro" and make the most of your trip to Logan!

With the recent changes to the distribution of football game tickets, your student will need to claim their own, free ticket for the game, instead of being able to walk in with their USU ID. Students can start claiming their tickets October 7th at 6pm. You can learn more information about the new ticketing process here.

Student tickets are distributed on a first come, first served basis. As this is the Homecoming game and will likely be highly attended, your student should claim their ticket as quickly after it opens as possible. Keep in mind, students must be eligible students at the Logan campus to claim football tickets. Students can call USU’s Registrar’s Office to confirm their eligibility at 435-797-1116.

Please reach out to parents@usu.edu with questions.
