Parent and Family Orientation

Let's Help Your Student Soar TOgether!

At UNF, we feel parents and families play a vital role in their student’s college success. During Parent and Family Orientation, you will learn about UNF and the many programs available to your student. Our faculty, staff and student leaders welcome the opportunity to meet and discuss all aspects of your student's enrollment with you. While it is not mandatory, we highly encourage you to sign up to gain valuable insight into your student's future at UNF.

Parent and Family Orientation

Some segments of Parent and Family Orientation will align with the New Student Orientation schedule, but others will take place separately. Students and their registered family members can expect to start and end at the same times.

Spring 2026 First-Year Orientation Dates 

Friday, Dec. 5, 2025 (On Campus, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.)

 

Students registered for an in-person New Student Orientation can add family members to their registration in their Applicant Portal by selecting their current application, clicking the Orientation tab, and selecting "Add a Guest" under the Parent and Family Header. Parents and family members who plan to attend Parent and Family Orientation should register for the same session dates as their student. New Student Orientation is mandatory for incoming students, and while it is not mandatory that parents or family members attend orientation, we highly encourage you to sign up to gain valuable insight into your student's future at UNF.

Registration is $75 per family member who plans to attend.
