What is the cost for Sibling Week?
Sibling Week activities are FREE to attend- all virtual events and all on-campus events.
Do participants have to be the siblings of the enrolled student?
Not at all. While many of the participants will be actual siblings, if the participant is a close family friend, cousin, son or daughter of the student, this is perfectly fine.
Can more than 1 sibling participant attend Sibling Week?
Yes, all siblings are welcome.
Are NMSU volunteers present during activities listed on the schedule for Sibling Week?
This is designed to be family event. While university staff and student volunteers will be present at the scheduled activities. Staff and volunteers are not responsible for the supervision of any Sibling Week attendees.
Can the sibling stay with my Aggie in their residence hall room?
While we don’t encourage siblings staying on campus, Housing and Residential Life does allow visitors with the roommate’s permission:
- Visitors & Guests Short‐term guests are permitted to visit residents for no more than three consecutive nights provided that the host’s roommate(s)/suitmate(s) agree. The rights of the roommate(s)/suitemate(s) must be given high priority with regard to visitation. The roommate should not be compelled to leave the room in order to accommodate a visitor, nor should the roommate be placed in a situation that might cause embarrassment or inconvenience. Guests must be escorted at all times by their host. Hosts are responsible for guest behavior and conduct at all times, and may be held responsible through the student conduct process for policy violations of their guests. Guests may not sleep in public or common areas. Providing access to any residential space not assigned to you is prohibited.
This information comes directly from Housing and Residential Life. Questions should be directed to Housing & Residential Life at (575) 646-3202.
Can we drop our sibling off for Sibling Day on Saturday?
Sibling Week is designed to be a family event. As a result, NMSU is not responsible for minor children. Siblings under 18 should always be with adult family members or their NMSU Student.
I have additional questions. Who should I contact?
If you have additional questions, please contact the Family Engagement staff at families@nmsu.edu or 575-646-1600 if you have any concerns.
