Shout Outs

Frequently Asked Questions

Please review our Frequently Asked Questions to have an enjoyable event.

How much is the registration fee and what does it cover?

This year’s Registration Fee is $100 for Alumni, $150 for alumni after 17 Oct 2025. $20 for Guests (18 years and older), $10.00 for Children (13-17 years old) , FREE for children 7 & under. This fee covers transportation, reunion expenses (registration/administration), lanyards and name tag(s), class photo, Memorial Service including video, Stadium Parking on Friday and Saturday, and other administrative costs.

What if I'm married to an '80 classmate, do we both have to pay the registration fee?

Yes. Since we base the registration fee on the number of classmates attending the reunion to cover the fixed costs for the entire weekend, we ask that all classmates pay their fee. Each classmate will need to create their own registration. This ensures each classmate has a proper name tag. Thank you!

Can I pay with cash or check?

No, to keep efficient processes, we are only accepting credit card transactions - cash and check are not accepted.

What is the processing fee?

The processing fee covers the credit card transaction fees.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis minus $20 and the credit card company imposed processing fees. Refund requests will be determined by the Reunion Committee: submit requests via email to: Larry DiRita at [email protected]. Approved refunds will be directed back to the credit card as long as the refund occurs within 120 days of the initial charge. Refunds outside the 120-day window will incur an additional check fee of $5 for a check mailed to the registrant. Chargebacks initiated by the registrant will incur a $50 fee.

What identification do I need to gain access to the Yard?

The U.S. Naval Academy has implemented a new policy prohibiting the use of foreign passports as valid identification for campus visitors, aligning access rules with broader federal security standards.

Visitors must now present a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, a state-issued ID card, or a U.S. passport to enter the academy grounds. Foreign passports are no longer accepted.

Can I park in The Yard?

Only persons with a valid DOD ID may bring their vehicle onto the yard. Getting your vehicle onto, and parking in The Yard is very, very challenging at this point given the various construction projects underway.  We do NOT recommend planning on parking in The Yard.  Most access will be via foot at Gate 1. We recommend using the buses provided by the class whenever possible.

What time are the Mid Store and Naval Academy Gift Shop open?

Mid Store Open Monday-Friday: 7:30-16:00, Saturday: 9:00-16:00, Sunday: CLOSED. 0800 - 1600 - Check-In and Late Registration at the Mid Store. 0900 - 1700 - Naval Academy Gift Shop Halsey Field - Daily.

Will the Chapel Service be live streamed or videotaped?

The Chapel Memorial Service will be videotaped and posted on the class MyUSNA website.

Is there a P-rade on Worden Field?

*There is no P-Rade because Notre Dame is an away football game.
