Refunds
As we prepare for an exciting Family Weekend 2025, we want to share an important update regarding our refund policy. Due to the rising costs associated with hosting Family Weekend, we are unable to offer refunds for any reason beginning with the 2025 event.
We understand that plans can change, and we encourage you to consider this policy carefully before registering. Your support helps us continue to create a meaningful and memorable experience for all families. Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our community.
Registration opens August 1 in the Cat Chat Family Community! If you haven’t signed up yet, you can join at go.uky.edu/catchat.
Don’t miss out on a weekend full of Wildcat memories!
