Parent & Family Orientation

Parent & Family Orientation is optional but highly recommended for any family member or supporter to learn more about USU and how to support their student. Held alongside New Student Orientation, this program provides an opportunity for parents and family members to join their student on campus and explore various departments and resources at USU.

Students can register their parents and family members for orientation when they choose a day at the beginning of Online Orientation Module 2. It is $20 per guest. If your student did not register a guest when they first registered for orientation, they will need to cancel their reservation and create a new one with a guest reservation. They can cancel and create a new reservation through their confirmation email or reach out to the orientation office at orientation@usu.edu or by calling 435-797-0283.

If you are unable to attend the in-person Parent & Family Orientation, you can access the same information through the Parent & Family Orientation Hub in the Parent & Family Connection.
