Early bird pricing is $75 per person until February 1, 2018. After that, the price will go up to $100 per person until June 27, 2018. There will be limited registrations accepted at the door, for $125 per person.
If you are interested in attending the reunion, even if only for a day or two, it's best that you grab the early bird price. This will ensure you're covered for any activities you want to do, as nametags will be required to enter all scheduled reunion activities. There will also be cool give-aways and other surprises, but only those who register will get these items! So don't hesitate, register early and rest assured you won't miss any of the fun!
Your Reunion registration fee will include access to all parts of fun Reunion activities! You will be able to enjoy: the Opening Ceremony, all evening entertainment that will include refreshments and cash bar, presentations/workshops, the exhibit area, Saturday BBQ dinner, and Sunday breakfast. Not included in the registration fee is the Golf Tournament and the NTID Theater production. These will have separate registrations. Also not included are meals on your own. The registration fee is well worth it - you will not otherwise be able to gain entry into all of the fun activities we have planned!
Reunion registration tickets are NOT transferable. You must register under your name and we cannot switch the ticket to another person. Refunds are not available after May 1 for any reason.
Alumni are more than welcome to bring their families and friends to the reunion! Current students, past faculty/staff, current faculty/staff, parents, and friends of NTID are all welcome to attend the reunion. We only ask that everyone register for the reunion before showing up on campus.
Nope! There is no limit on how many people can register for the reunion. The more, the merrier!

The registration fee for children ages 4 and under is free, and those 5 and older pay the same fee as any other registrant.

Double rooms are for TWO people and will have two twin beds in one room. If you reserve a double room and note the name of a roommate, you will be matched with that person (they will also need to reserve a double room and note your name on their registration). If you do not note a prefered roommate, you will not be matched with anyone and will have the room to yourself.
