This is the official schedule of events for Cheyney University of Pennsylvania’s 2014 Homecoming scheduled for Thursday, October 16–Sunday, October 19, 2014. The Cheyney University National Alumni Association (CUNAA) is pleased to invite all Cheyney University alumni to register for events online or by printing the 2014 CU Homecoming brochure and mailing their registration form.
ADVISORY NOTICE: Please be advised that there are Cheyney alumni who are promoting events, parties, and activities during Homecoming Weekend who, as a group, are neither affiliated with the Cheyney University National Alumni Association nor Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. The activities you see on the CUNAA website, Facebook Page and in the Homecoming 2014 brochure are the only officially approved and sanctioned events acknowledged by the university and the National Alumni Association. Proceeds from CUNAA events benefit the university and students. The events sponsored by the other groups are not apart of the CUNAA Homecoming agenda, and where the proceeds go are questionable; attend their activities at your own discretion.
Game-Day Parking
All visitors are required to pay a $10 parking fee for Saturday’s on-campus events. Please bring exact change! Parking on non-campus property without a parking pass may result in a ticket or towing! Payments benefit the Cheyney University Athletics Department.

Alumni who are current members of the Cheyney University National Alumni Association who are “in good standing” (financial) are encouraged to take advantage of special homecoming rates by paying their event fees via check.
