Family & Supporters
Student Orientation and Success (SOS) recognizes and appreciates the vital role parents, families, and other supporters play in their student’s success at the Â鶹´«Ã½. Serving as a centralized resource, SOS strives to equip parents, families, and other supporters with the knowledge of university resources and services and provide experiences to strengthen their relationship with their student as a partner within their educational journey and experience.
Our 2025-26 Orientation Guidebook is packed with resources and program information to help guide your student through their first semester at Â鶹´«Ã½. Be sure to review all the valuable details inside to ensure they have a smooth and successful start.
Join the Â鶹´«Ã½ Family Network!
The Â鶹´«Ã½ Family Network is designed to provide the information you need when you need it. This resource will help current and future Â鶹´«Ã½ families stay engaged and focused on what matters most: your student's success.
In-Person Family & Supporter Orientation
Family members and supporters of incoming students play an important role in their student's transition to Â鶹´«Ã½. To support you during this process, we offer an in-person Family and Supporter Orientation during our one- and two-day student sessions. These sessions are designed to address your specific needs and concerns, providing valuable information to help you support your student’s success at Â鶹´«Ã½.
Self-Paced Family & Supporter Orientation
Family members and guests of incoming students play an important role in their student's transition to Â鶹´«Ã½. We recognize the support you need as well, so we have designed a self-paced online Parent and Family Orientation to meet your specific needs and concerns.
