Question: What should parents and families expect during Discoveries Orientation Week?

The Discoveries Orientation team is anxiously awaiting your family’s arrival to the University of Denver campus!  Our goal is to welcome you to our community and make your student’s transition to college as smooth as possible. We realize that, while this is a time of excitement and anticipation for families, it can also create some challenges and anxiety.

Whether you are a parent/guardian of a first-year or transfer student, the Parent and Family Orientation is designed to help you become familiar with DU, answer your questions about University resources and opportunities, and find out what to expect the first year.

Orientation includes various information sessions, a resource fair, and time to ask DU administrators any questions you may have. Some sessions occurring during Parent and Family Orientation include:

Student Billing and Financial Aid

Campus Safety

Academic Requirements

Student Life

Study Abroad

Health and Counseling

Campus Tours

Following Residence Hall Move-in on Sunday, September 4^th, we invite all parents and guardians of incoming students to stay for Parent and Family Orientation, occurring Monday, September 5^th -Tuesday, September 6th. The cost is $25 per person, which helps offset costs of meals and materials (children under 10 do not have to register). Parent and Family Orientation is optional and is not a requirement, but is a wonderful way to learn more about the DU experience.

To REGISTER and for a more detailed schedule of Parent and Family Orientation, please visit http://www.du.edu/studentlife/discoveries/parentsandfamilies.html.  Online registration closes August 31^st.

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!

I just registered for the Parent and Family Orientation and now realize it is during the week. I cannot attend during the week. What is the best way to get our reservation cancelled and our money refunded? Thanks, Connie (cmasson50@gmail.com)
