First-year Orientation Parents Program

All parents of first-year students are encouraged to attend the Parents Orientation Program, which is designed to provide them with an abundance of information about UNH in an on-campus setting. The Parents Program  -- separate from the student program -- takes place on the same dates as first-year student orientation, and includes useful workshops, as well as opportunities to meet with faculty, staff, students, and other parents.
In addition, it’s an opportunity to learn how parents can be involved in their student’s undergraduate experience through the activities of the UNH Parents Association.
Parents should reserve their space at Orientation by filling out the Parents Program Registration Form by May 11.
