In-person Parent and Family Orientation

Join our in-person Parent and Family Orientation to connect with other Temple families, discover campus resources, and meet University staff and administration. Sessions coincide with First-Year Orientation and students must make a reservation for an available student Orientation session via their TUportal. Please be mindful that not all schools/colleges will be advising at each Orientation session and your student will only be able to select a session which their school/college is participating in.

In-person Orientation includes a nominal fee covering lunch, materials, and parking. If you have any concerns about the registration fee, please reach out the [click-for-email] to request a fee waiver. While children 12 and under attend for free, the program is not designed with young children in mind and they are not provided with separate activities.

Overnight housing for family members is not provided. For discounted accommodations, consider booking with a university-approved hotel.
