New Student Orientation Registration is Open!

Family Orientation

Summer 2025 orientation registration is now open!

The first engagement opportunity for Carolina family members is to attend Family Orientation, which is held concurrently alongside the Student Orientation. During Family Orientation, participants will hear from numerous university administrators, faculty members, and current students about how to partner with the University to support your student’s success and learning.


In effort to further support Sustainable Carolina goals we will be utilizing web based electronic schedules on site for Orientation sessions. If you desire a hardcopy of the schedule you should plan to print the schedule(s) below and bring them with you to your session.


We welcome and strongly encourage family members and guests to attend Family Orientation and learn about how to get involved at Carolina as a family member. 

Attending Family Orientation provides family members the opportunity to…

  • learn how to support your student to be successful at Carolina.
  • gain insight about campus resources and services.
  • discover how to become involved as a Carolina family member.
  • meet faculty, administrators, staff, and other Carolina families.

Reservations for Family Orientation should be completed at the same time students complete their New Student Orientation reservation. For more information on New Student & Family Orientation, please visit the First-Year Student Orientation page and Transfer Student Orientation page for corresponding information.
