Staying Involved
Parent Orientation
One of the first things you can do to help ensure that your child makes a successful transition to college is to attend Parent Orientation, which is held concurrently with each freshman orientation session and transfer orientation session.
Parent Orientation allows you to meet faculty and administrators, become familiar with the campus and share ideas on your child’s entry into college, even if this is not your first child to attend. Orientation leaders also distribute a parent handbook with essential phone numbers and other helpful information.
UNT Parent Association
To remain active in your student’s accomplishments and build friendships with other parents, we recommend joining the UNT Parent Association. Benefits include a Family Weekend discount, a monthly e-newsletter and a 10 percent discount on UNT Bookstore items. Members’ children also compete for Parent Association scholarships. An annual membership is $70; a lifetime membership is $300. Email parents@unt.edu or call 940-565-4373 for more information.
