FAQ
What is the cost of Senior Week?
Senior Week is now free! This year, CCB has focused our efforts on increasing financial accessibility by reevaluating the cost of expensive Senior Week events to decrease its overall cost. We have also worked together with University Departments and the Undergraduate Finance Board (UFB), who have helped to fully fund the remaining cost of Senior Week!
In past years, packages cost around $200 per student, but given that we have missed two years of events, Senior Week will be free for the Class of 2022!
Are only seniors allowed at the events?
Only Class of 2022 or 2022.5 are allowed to participate. You MUST provide a physical copy of your Brown ID. if you are not part of Class of 2022 or 2022.5 but wish to participate in Senior Week, please fill out this special circumstances form, and we will review on a case-by-case basis for eligibility to participate in Senior Week.
Will there be a Casino Night?
Casino Night is one of the events that CCB has decided to cut away in order to make Senior Week accessible. Cutting this event has allowed us to decrease the cost barrier of Senior Week and ultimately make the cost free.
Will there be drinks?
There will be a cash bar at Disorientation Dance, Senior Formal, and Arcade and Club Night. Please bring a government-issued ID (e.g. driver’s license) if you wish to partake.
