Can we come early?
Yes.
Your registration will allow you to reserve a dorm room and come for dinner on Thursday night, July 3rd. If you want to arrive in Greeley earlier and want to stay in the dorms we suggest reaching out to us ASAP and we will coordinate with UNC for you. If you want to make arrangements to try and stay with Colorado cousins, but don’t know who to contact, also reach out ASAP.

What’s the alcohol policy?
Personal beverages can be consumed in private spaces. No selling or distribution allowed. We have arranged for bar service at only one meal – dinner on Saturday. Plan is to be ticketed at beginning, then convert to cash (subject to change).
Explain those bedrooms & beds again?
See pictures of floorplans on UNC site here: North Hall – Ridge Neighborhood
Unless you reserve a super single as an individual, you will be sharing a bathroom with your suite mates. The toilet has its own door. The shower has its own door too. And there is a common area “living room” as well with a couch and coffee table. The regular single means one person will sleep behind their own door within the suite, on a twin XL bed. The double means two people will be behind that door within the suite, both on twin XL beds.
We will not add individuals into suites with families with children – don’t worry – your nuclear family will be the only ones in there (unless you specifically book or request a cousin to be in there too).
What else do you have planned?
Cousin time is the best time! Shared meals, stories, amazing activities. Casino night returns! Cornhole tournament returns! NEW! Bagpipe and drum band! see tentative schedule here
Can we stay just ONE night? Can we just come for the day?
Yes, you can come for the day or one day and one evening if you wish. Please register ($25 fee includes t-shirt, name badge button, and fees from UNC (scholarships available, see below, if needed) and let us know your plans so we can make sure to accommodate you. If you can only attend one day, we suggest Saturday for the group picture in the afternoon and the meal and Casino Night Games that night.
Can we have our rooms next to our cousins?
The registration site will ask you to tell us which cousins you would like to be near. We will do our best to make that happen and ask that you get your room reservations and requests in early so we have time to make the puzzle work.
What is the website for our family?
You’re here!
tobincumminsfamily.com
Will we have access to good cell and wifi service?
Yes
What is the smoking policy?
UNC is completely smoke free. No cigarettes, no vaping, no marijuana, no cigars. No open flames at all. You will need to navigate off campus to smoke or vape.
Can I do laundry?
Yes. There are multiple (free) machines available. Local folks will have limited detergent in the supply closet.
Can I stay late?
Yes.
Your registration will allow booking through Sunday morning July 6, and breakfast that morning. If you want to stay in Greeley longer and want to stay in the dorms we suggest reaching out to us ASAP and we will coordinate with UNC. If you want to make arrangements with Colorado cousins, but don’t know who to contact, also reach out ASAP.

What’s this about linens?
Unfortunately UNC does not have enough linen sets for all of us, so we are hoping anyone that is driving will be able to bring their own, so that the cousins who are flying or who otherwise have limited space can utilize the rented ones.
What is included in the room if I commit to bringing my own linens?
The bare mattress is TwinXL and will be on a bed frame. There is also a desk and drawers and closet.
So what should I bring?
Sheets (or sleeping bag), pillow in a case (or not, we don’t judge), blanket, bath towel(s), hand towel(s) washcloth. Hangars if you want them. Bathmat if a towel won’t do.
What about toiletries?
You should bring all your own soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc. UNC only provides 1 roll of toilet paper per suite. Local folks will have additional TP on site in the supply closet, along with small amounts of back up toiletries.
So… it’s like camping?
Yes, but with air conditioning, indoor plumbing, and furniture!
Should I bring a cooler?
Yes. There are shared fridges available in the lounges on each floor, but they are not private.
Can I request a fridge for my suite?
No. UNC does not offer this. If you need one for medical supplies or baby formula, reach out and we can brainstorm a solution together.
Where is the supply closet?
TBD, will make known on site
What will be in supply closet?
Limited supplies of toiletries, sunscreen, toilet paper, laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, etc.
Will first aid be available?
Yes. Phyllis Uribe, RN and Mary Jensen, RN will have limited first aid available. Please reach out if you have specific requests or concerns ahead of travel.
Can I bring my RV?
Yes. Please register ($25 fee includes t-shirt, name badge button, and fees from UNC (scholarships available, see below, if needed) and send us an email with your plans and we will coordinate with UNC.

If you are able and wish to contribute you can add a donation on the registration form or contact Terry Tobin at terry.tobin26@mail.com.
What do I need to know about parking?
Parking fees will be enforced Thursday until 5pm, and possibly Friday morning (we are double checking this).
All are welcome to unload in the lot just in front of North Hall(yellow highlight), but please relocate once unloaded to the lot across the street(green highlight), to keep the near lot as free as possible for those who need the shorter walk. The small faculty lot should not be used at all. (red highlight)
