Family Weekend Registration
Registration is open for Family Weekend 2026! Purchase wristbands before registration closes on Mon., Aug. 31 at 3 p.m. (EDT).
Be sure to purchase a wristband for each individual family member (don’t forget your USC student). If you have a question about how to register, please see the step-by-step instructions
below. If you are still unable to find your answer, please reach out to Parent and
Family Programs at 803-777-3008 or scparents@sc.edu.
Due to planning requirements, late registration will not take place. Families and USC students must purchase family weekend wristbands prior to registration
closing on Monday, August 31 at 3 p.m. (EDT).
Family Weekend welcomes all Gamecocks of all ages. We encourage you to bring the whole
family! Be aware that Family Weekend activities take place across campus and involve
considerable walking. In Columbia, September can still be quite warm and humid so
plan and pack for maximum comfort. Family Weekend is widely accessible for those with disabilities. For accommodation
questions, please email scparents@sc.edu for assistance or complete the Family Weekend Accommodations Request by August 15 to ensure the Office of Parent & Family Programs can provide assistance.
Registration and wristband purchase provides access to three signature Family Weekend events: President Meet and Greet, Rock the Roost, and Family Tailgate Party. You can still attend Family Weekend and visit your USC student while enjoying the celebratory atmosphere. Your USC student may have other events already planned for you!

How to Register and Purchase Your Wristbands
Registration Tips
- Determine how many family members will be attending. Each attendee, including your USC student, requires a wristband.
- You will need your USC student's USC email address and ID number (the eight-digit number that starts with a letter) to complete registration.
- Use a computer or laptop rather than a mobile device to avoid display issues.
- When completing the order summary, activate the fields using your mouse or trackpad. Avoid using the tab button.
-
Review the Family Weekend 2026 Webinar for more information regarding the weekend, a demo of the registration process, and tips for registering.
Purchasing multiple wristbands?
- If all of your wristbands will include football tickets, complete in the same transaction.
- If all of your wristbands will be events only (no football tickets), complete in the same transaction.
- If you are purchasing both events-only wristbands and wristbands including football
tickets, it’s easier to complete two separate transactions, purchasing each style
of wristbands.
