Family Orientation

​Family Orientation

As a parent or guardian, you will continue to play an important role in your student’s personal development and academic success. Family Orientation is a great way to take part in and support your student’s transition. Our program will highlight transitional issues that your students may experience, as well as provide detailed information regarding financial aid, math course placements, university health insurance, public safety, campus life, and many more resources. Family orientation is optional but strongly encouraged. 

Family Orientation Dates

Family Orientation runs concurrently to New Student Orientation (NSO) and runs on a separate track from NSO most of the day. Note that students are invited to attend NSO based on their college major, and they will only receive an invitation to register upon completion of their placement test. While it is expected that you will attend on the day that your student attends NSO, you are welcome to attend on a separate day as well.

Registration and Costs

Your student must register you for Family Orientation when they register for NSO. 

The cost is $35 and is required to cover the expenses of lunch, the closing reception, materials, program staff, and the information sessions you will attend as part of Family Orientation. The cost is all-inclusive and non-negotiable. Family Orientation at NJIT is a self-supporting program and does not receive funding from the University.
