2011 summer family orientation

Welcome! Through participation in Family Orientation, you will have the opportunity to help your family member get the best start possible as a student at UNCP. We are highly committed to student success, but there is a very important supporting role you play in this success. Please accept this as a personal invitation to attend Family Orientation. We have a program designed to meet the needs of parents of first-time freshmen and non-traditional freshmen. Family orientation sessions will be scheduled concurrently with the New Student Orientation sessions for students. Students registering for classes on August 13, 2011 must pay all costs by 5:00 pm on August 13, 2011.

Great care has gone into planning a program that will allow you a chance to get your questions answered. Join us for one of the Family Orientation sessions this summer. If you have any questions, you may contact us at orientation@uncp.edu or at 800.949.UNCP. UNCP is a wonderful place to learn and grow.

Family members are automatically registered to attend a family orientation session when their student registers for the session online. Your student can find additional information by visiting the New Student Orientation web site at http://www.uncp.edu/orientation/.
