Planning Information
Reservations
Advance reservations and payment are required for meals and housing. We cannot guarantee meals to anyone without advance registration, and events
with limited space will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
The registration fee helps defray costs such as student workers, table and chair rental,
musicians, awards, printed materials and golf cart rental for on-campus transportation.
Macalester College does not profit from reunion fees.
The reservation deadline is Friday, May 6. Please return the reservation form and
pre-addressed envelope with your check (payable to Macalester College) or your credit
card information, for campus accommodations, events, meals and registration fee. After May 6, the reservation fee will increase to $25 per person.
Cancellation: Refunds will be made only if we receive your cancellation on or before
Friday, May 13.
