Share Guest Registration Information for the Parent and Family Orientation Program 2015-12-18 00:00:00.000
We offer an optional Parent and Family Orientation program that is open to parents, guardians, and guests of new first year students. This optional program helps those that serve as a support system to you to understand the personal adjustments you may go through and discover some of the resources available at UC San Diego.
Guests are not allowed to attend the student orientation sessions, so this separate program that is held alongside your orientation program is a great opportunity for any guests traveling to campus with you to receive an introduction to UC San Diego. We strongly encourage you to invite your parent/guardian or another family member by providing their email address on the New Student Site.
They will be sent a link to register for their Orientation program. You are not able to register anyone for the parent program through your registration process.
