Checking In

The majority of classes must check-in at Seelye Hall to be included in their class attendance count. The classes of 1943, 1948, 1953, 1958 must check-in at Northrop/Gillett House. The Alumnae House will NOT be a check-in site this year, as we have found Seelye to be an easier location because of its proximity to parking, and to central campus.

Stop by your check-in location (Seelye Hall or Northrop/Gillett House) to receive your name badge with your housing assignment and meal reservations. You will also receive a key card to access class headquarters and your house for the weekend. Then head over to your class headquarters.

If you arrive after registration closes, call campus safety at 413-585-2490; they will let you into your house. However, you must stop at check-in the next morning to check in and get your key card.
