Fall First-Year Family Orientation

New students and parents congregate in Talley Student Union for orientation.

Welcome to NC State!

The Office of New Student Programs welcomes you to NC State University, a community of achievers, rich in tradition and academic excellence. To assist you and your family as new members of this community, we invite you to attend a Family Orientation session. These sessions are designed specifically for parents and families of first-year students. While students are attending Student Orientation, family members can attend Family Orientation.

During the program, you will be able to:

  • Get better acquainted with the academic programs and campus services offered to your student.
  • Gain insights into the potential adjustments your new college student and your family will face.
  • Meet NC State staff, current students, and other parents and family members.
