Parent Orientation
Welcome Parents of incoming students for Fall 2024! As your student begins their transition to college at WCSU, we know that this will be a period of transition for parents as well. During orientation you will have a chance to learn more about the WCSU community and all of the supports we have in place for your student to be successful! At WCSU, we take pride in a campus that supports students and fosters their growth as they develop academically, professionally and socially. We invite you to be part of university life here, too. And now, as a parent of a WCSU student, you will have the opportunity to do just that. Our goal is to keep parents updated and informed on events taking place at the university.
Parent orientation takes place on DAY 1 of each of the orientation sessions. Please park in the White Street Garage and follows signs to check-in.
