Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will tickets be sent to me? Where do I pick up my tickets?
    There are no printed tickets for Humanities Day presentations. Each room will have a list of registered participants at the door. Staff will be available the day of the event to answer questions and guide participants to various locations.
  • What does it mean when registration for a presentation is closed?
    To ensure that everybody who registers for a presentation gets a seat, we close registration when the room can't hold any more. If you really want to see a presentation, we recommend stopping by that presentation's room before it begins to see if any seats are available at the last minute. NOTE: We cannot guarantee that seats will become available.
  • How can I find out about changes to the program?
    You can watch this website for updates to the program, including room changes and cancellations, or visit the Humanities Day Headquarters in the lobby of Stuart Hall (5835 S. Greenwood Avenue) on the day of the event. Headquarters opens at 8:30am.
  • Is there parking available?
    Parking is available at the Ellis Avenue Parking Garage, on the southeast corner of 55th Street and Ellis Avenue. There is no fee for parking in this lot on weekends. Street parking is also available throughout campus.
  • What if I need special assistance to attend?
