IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ADULT/CHILD REQUIREMENTS Grandparents University is open to children ages 8-13 who are accompanied by a grandparent who is an alum or friend of MSU. • Due to the educational nature of the program as well as limited capacity, children must be within the age range during the dates of the program. We cannot make exceptions to the age range for children. • Because this program is designed to bridge the gap between the generations, parents of children cannot attend in place of, or in addition to, a grandparent. • We recognize that there may be situations where a grandparent cannot attend, so please contact the MSU Alumni Office to discuss potential options. Requests must be approved in writing by the MSU Alumni Office prior to registration. All children must always be accompanied by an adult, no exceptions. • No more than two children can be accompanied by one adult. If two children attend with one adult, everyone must attend the same classes and stay together as a group. In some classes, this may necessitate sharing equipment and working together as one. • If two children attend with two adults, each adult/child pair may attend a different class. • No more than two adults may accompany one child. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL OF THE PROGRAM Grandparents University is an active program with events that take place in a variety of locations across campus. Although there is bus transportation, walking is the primary means of getting around and walking distances may be up to several miles per day in various weather conditions. Participants are not permitted to drive their own vehicles to classes and evening activities. See “getting around campus” section in the frequently asked questions for additional details. We strive to treat all participants fairly and equally and keep everyone safe while enjoying the program. We respectfully request that prospective participants honestly consider the physical activity level and whether this program is a good fit for them. If there are any questions, we encourage prospective participants to contact the MSU Alumni Office prior to registering for the program.
