Family Orientation
Welcome to the UTRGV family! We're thrilled to have you on board, as your involvement plays a crucial role in your student's success. At UTRGV, we want to work together with you to support both the academic journey and personal growth of our students.
Join us at Family Orientation, where you'll gain the skills and knowledge to assist your student during their transition. Discover how you can actively engage in their education from now until graduation.
During the session, we'll cover various topics, including Academic Support Services, Campus Safety, Factors Leading to Student Success, Financial Aid, Health and Wellness, the Role of Families in Supporting Students, Student Involvement, and Student Services and Resources.
When your student signs up for orientation, they can add the names of two family members to join them. Please note that family members must attend on the same day the student registers. Attendance is free but limited to two family members per student. For a more focused experience, we recommend leaving small children at home. We've got you covered with lunch during the session.
For additional details, feel free to call (956) 882-4026.
