Parent and Family Orientation Guide

By the time you leave campus after Orientation, we hope that you will:
  • Gain an understanding of the policies and procedures of Emory University (both academic and non-academic).
  • Gain an understanding of what it means to be a member of the Emory family.
  • Become an active partner with us as we all work together to help your student.
  • Feel more connected to Emory University.
  • Leave with a feeling that both you and your student are ready to make this transition.
