Family Orientation
New Family Orientation
We begin Family Orientation with a summer webinar series that aligns with the DUBound Newsletter. Your student will receive information and action items through the newsletter and the online Canvas modules. The summer webinar series mirrors the new student checklist to ensure families are informed alongside their student before arriving to campus. Once on campus, join us Family Orientation sessions after Move- In on Tuesday, September 2nd!
Be sure you've created an account in the DU Family Experience. All communications about orientation for Fall 2025 will begin early May 2025. If you're not receiving information about orientation, email families@du.edu and we'll make sure we have the correct email listed!
