Study Reservations

WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE STAY DATES? 

Penn Alumni & Commencement Weekend at The Study includes rates and stay dates ranging from Wednesday, May 19 through Thursday, May 27, 2027 (kindly note that stays which include Sunday, May 23 are currently on a waitlist).

For longer stays, please use our standard booking link or call our team directly so we can personally assist with your reservation and recommend the best available accommodations for your visit. 

IS THERE A MINIMUM LENGTH OF STAY? 

To best accommodate both Alumni Weekend and Commencement celebrations taking place over the same weekend, minimum stay requirements vary by arrival date and anticipated demand and are subject to change based on room type and availability.

HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION? 

Reservations can be made through our direct booking channels online or by phone. Alumni Weekend (Friday-Sunday) reservations are still available to book directly, while Penn Commencement dates are available by waitlist only.

DO I PAY NOW OR LATER? 

A deposit equal to the first night’s room rate plus tax is required to secure your reservation and is charged at the time of booking. The remainder of the stay will be charged on Thursday, January 21, 2027.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF ROOMS APPEAR SOLD OUT OR MY PREFERRED DATES AREN’T SHOWING AS AVAILABLE? 

Penn Commencement dates are currently on a waitlist due to high demand. If you're interested in Commencement stays, please call or email our team to be added to the waitlist. We'll contact you directly when accommodations become available.

We invite you to contact our hotel team directly for the most up-to-date information, as inventory may change as additional reservations are modified or released. 

WHAT DOES THE WAITLIST ENTAIL?

As each room type reaches capacity for the weekend, a waitlist is established and managed through phone or email inquiries. Guests will be added to the appropriate waitlist in the order requests are received and contacted directly as reservations become available. Those remaining on a waitlist will also receive periodic updates and reminders throughout the academic year so they may plan accordingly.

Cancellations made before Thursday, January 21, 2027 will receive a full refund of the deposit with no cancellation fees. Reservations cancelled on or after the 21st are non-refundable.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I BOOK AFTER JANUARY 21, 2027?
