Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can I register by phone?
Yes. Call Alumni Relations at 212.678.3215 to register by phone.

Can my children attend Academic Festival?
Absolutely! We have again partnered with The Hollingworth Center to present TC Kids Camp - a day-long, fun-filled opportunity for children to learn through a series of activities and sessions that will ignite their imagination and creativity. Children grades K-5 (ages 5-11) will be welcomed to drop in or stay all day with or without a caregiver present, so you'll be able to take part in some of the concurrent breakout sessions too. Webop will also be presented again for kids ages 6 months and up, though a caregiver will be required to stay. TC Kids Camp is open only to children of registered Academic Festival attendees.

Do I have to register in advance?

While it helps us to plan for a more enjoyable experience for all if you register in advance, walk in registrants will not be turned away on April 8. To ensure you have access to the sessions of your preference, we encourage you to register now.
