To officially participate in Family Weekend, yes, you will need to purchase an FIU Law Family Weekend package to attend the events hosted by Orientation & Family Programs. All other events require separate purchase and can be found at Orientation & Family Programs Family Weekend.

We encourage families and guests to book accommodations as early as possible once Family Weekend dates are announced, as hotels and vacation rentals in the Miami area tend to fill quickly.
