Dear Parent,

Your son or daughter is about to begin an exciting new journey and we at The Catholic University of America, understand that you will be beside your student every step of the way. You play an important role in your student's success.

Through the orientation program we encourage students to learn and understand the expectations and offerings of the CUA community. We hope that you and your student will talk about expectations, responsibility, transitional fears, and exciting opportunities, both before and during orientation and throughout their time at CUA. In this light we have designed a parent orientation program that moves in conjunction with the student orientation program. Students and parents will be encouraged to attend many sessions together, while other sessions will be marked specifically for parents or for students. All sessions marked for parents will be complete by 1 pm on Saturday, August 25.

If you have any questions over the course of the summer please call the Orientation program at 202-319-5627.

We look forward to seeing you in August!

Sincerely,

Kathryn Jennings
Director of Campus Activities

Registering for the Parent Program?

The best time to register for parent orientation is when your son or daughter is registering for orientation. Your student will be asked whether parents or guardians will be attending with them. It is important for you to register online so that the appropriate number of meals and materials are ordered. There is no fee associated with the parent orientation program.
