Parent & Family Orientation
We hope your family will be able to join us for Parent & Family Orientation. If they have not yet done so, please ask your family members to RSVP ASAP so we can anticipate their arrival.
On the day you move in, please send one representative from your family to check in for Parent & Family Orientation. Check-in will occur on Friday, August 20th and Saturday, August 21st from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM in the First Year Center located in the lower level of Umrath House on the South 40 (across from the Bear’s Den entrance).
At check-in we will confirm the RSVP, provide each member of your party with a WashU mask, and distribute tickets to receive a parent and family gift at the New Student & Family Welcome on Saturday, August 21st at 7:30 PM. It is important that every family checks in so we know how many people are on campus.
For families who are unable to join us for Parent & Family Orientation, we will livestream and record the sessions. Livestream links will be available on the Parents & Families website.
