Parent Orientation
Dates:
Friday, June 22nd*
Friday, July 13th
Saturday, August 18th
*Please note, as the Parent Orientation postcard had an inaccurate June date.
Students and Families will each have a specific Orientation Session to attend. Parent Orientations are on a different date than the student orientations. We do recognize that some families will be traveling from out of town to attend orientation, and because of this we have student and parent programs that run over consecutive days. We will have more activities for students while your parents are going through orientation. It is important that Students have the opportunity to get to know one another without being worried or distracted by their parents. Attending college is often one of the first steps into adulthood. Part of this transition is making some of these important decisions on your own. Unlike High School, the responsibility will more readily fall on the student for making these decisions. We have created sessions for parents to assist their students in their transition to college and adulthood. The parent orientation program is designed to address the specific questions that parents have. They will learn about the many resources and services as well as the logistics of financial aid and paying tuition. In addition, they will get tips on how they can support you while you face the rigors of a university education.
The Parent Orientation program at The University of Washington Bothell provides parents with resources to help their students transition to their first quarter at the university. Each Parent Orientation is open to parents of Freshmen and Transfer students.
Sessions begin at 10:00am and end at 3:00pm. Lunch is provided.
