Parents/Guests Are Invited, Too!

Parents/guests have the opportunity to attend New Student Orientation as well. Much of the New Student Orientation program is designed specifically for parents and will include information on academic programs, campus life at Northern Colorado, and helping your student transition both academically and socially.  Parents/guests will also have the opportunity to meet UNC students, faculty and staff.  Students and parents/guests will be in separate groups for the orientation program and will spend the majority of the program in separate sessions.
