A Special Invitation for Parents and Families

At Emerson College, we view the relationship we have with our students' families as a partnership- a partnership created to help students be successful. We also know that when parents are informed, students benefit. Therefore, Emerson College offers a special orientation program just for parents and families of new students.

Designed to complement your student's orientation program, Parent and Family Orientation will help you get better acquainted with the academic programs and services offered to your student and will address your questions and concerns. It will also offer insights into the adjustments you and your new college student will face during the next few years. The Parent and Family Orientation schedule describes the valuable information that will be presented. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet with several members of the community to whom you are entrusting your student. Parent and Family Orientation is offered free of charge!

Please take a few minutes to register your party to participate in this fall's Parent and Family Orientation program via on our online process. If you need assistance, please contact the Orientation Hotline at 617-824-8638 and we will be happy to help! Please note that information you provide for your registration will only be used for the expressed purpose of Parent and Family Orientation and will not be shared with any other office. After the close of the Parent and Family Orientation program, you will be emailed an evaluation to ask for your feedback on the program.
