Invitation for Parents

At North Carolina State University, we view the relationship we have with our students' parents and families as a partnership - a partnership created to help students be successful. We also know that when parents are informed, students benefit. Therefore, we would like to invite you to a special program just for parents during New Student Orientation.

Parents’ Orientation is more than just another campus tour. Even if you are already familiar with NC State’s campus, Parents' Orientation will help you get acquainted with the academic programs and special services offered to your student and will address questions and concerns you may have. It will also offer insights into the adjustments your new college student and you will face during the next few years. Plus, you will have the opportunity to taste student life by eating in the dining hall and touring campus. The sample schedule provided describes the valuable information that will be presented. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet with many staff and current students.

When you attend Parents' Orientation, you automatically become a member of the North Carolina State University Parents & Families Association. The Parents & Families Association is intended to strengthen the relationship the University has with students' families and is designed to increase communication with parents and actively involve them in the life of the University. Your membership supports programs and services designed to keep you informed and connected to NC State, because we know that when you are informed, your student benefits.

If you have any questions about Parents' Orientation, please contact us at (877)568.5733 (toll free) or at ncsuparents@ncsu.edu.

We hope you will be able to join us for this important program. We are eager for you to feel at home at NC State University!

Sincerely,
