What is Family Orientation?

Family Orientation is a program offered by New Student Orientation that focuses on the transition of not only new students, but also their families to the UofA community. Family Orientation, along with service providers across campus offer sessions about academics, finances, and student life to give students and families tips and tricks to supporting one another throughout the transition to university.

In-person Family Orientation took place on July 16th. If you were unable to attend, please check out our webinars as a great resource instead.
