CFAW is for Parents too!
While CFAW doesn’t cost anything for family members, it’s important that you include a headcount of who will be joining your student for the weekend when you register. Whether it’s you as the parent, guardian, or other family members, your RSVP helps us accommodate everyone joining us for the event.
Our current students are excited to welcome your student to our campus, but please keep in mind that we do not allow students to stay in the residence halls as part of CFAW – so be sure to secure off-campus accommodations for both you and your student. If your student knows a current residential student, approval to stay on campus may be granted on a case-by-case basis through the Office of Residence Life.
Students attending CFAW must have their CFAW Guest Flames Pass at all times. A Flames Pass gives your student entrance to the dining center and Convocation as well as access to the student section for home football, baseball, softball, and women’s basketball games. There are plenty of activities planned to give your student the full Liberty experience. Check out our Schedule and Events page for more information.
