FAQs

Everyone who plans to attend NTID Reunion events must register. You will get entry to all NTID reunion activities on campus when you register via the NTID 55th Anniversary Reunion website. The fee helps cover the costs of hosting such a large group—items like venue set-up, food, and giveaways. RIT Brick City Weekend is at the same time and will have its own registration site. You will be able to register separately for those activities if you wish to attend them and some may have a fee. The RIT Brick City Weekend site will be available later in the summer.

All children aged 5 and up must be registered for the reunion in order to attend. Ages 4 and under are free.

Yes, if you intend to come to the SVP ’73 50th Reunion, please register for NTID’s 55th Anniversary Reunion. All activities will be held during the larger NTID Reunion.

Yes, current students must register for the reunion in order to attend.  Many of our events include food, giveaways, and more, so we need to know the number of attendees for catering and other items.

If you plan to attend the RIT Men’s Hockey game on Saturday during the reunion weekend, you will need to purchase a hockey game ticket. This is a separate cost from the NTID Reunion. An announcement will be made when hockey tickets are available, and you will be able to use an NTID Reunion code to purchase tickets. Tickets will sell fast, so don’t wait once the announcement goes out!
