Families & Support Systems | Orientation
Welcome to Pacific University!
We are thrilled to have you and your student become part of the Boxer family!
All of us here know that this can be just as much of a transition for you as it is for your student. Parent & Family Orientation helps parents and family members assist their student in the transition to college. While your student participates in New Student Orientation, you will have an opportunity to join sessions with information and resources that are particularly helpful for you during this transition.
Fall Orientation 2023 for new first-year and transfer students is Thursday, August 24 - Sunday, August 27, 2023 on our Forest Grove Campus. Parent and Family programming is August 24 - 25, 2023 and ends late Friday afternoon.
The full schedule is available online.
After your student gets settled in, you may have some more questions or need additional resources. We encourage you to join our parent and family newsletter or reach out to us anytime at parents@contact.pacificu.edu.
