Hot Dog Day Guest Pre-Registration

Hello,

The Office of Residential Services will be opening pre-registration for those Alfred State students who live on campus that would like to have off-campus guests during Hot Dog Day Weekend.  Although pre-registration is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged so you can skip the long wait of registering your guest with a staff member.

Students may only have one on-campus or off-campus at a time during Hot Dog weekend. 

Pre-registration will run until Tuesday, April 18th.  Final approvals will be made on Wednesday, April 19th. 

Pre-register your guest here: https://alfredstate.erezlife.com/app/one.php?manager=FormView&form_type_id=67

We look forward to a fun and safe Hot Dog Day weekend!
