While you may have questions and uncertainties as a parent of an incoming college freshman, there are many resources IU has to offer to provide parents what they need.
The Office of First Year Experience Programs serves to guide incoming students and provide their parents with the resources they need to get on track for a successful first year. This includes the New Student Orientation Guide, which lays out the steps incoming students need to take in order to enroll successfully and can be found on IU’s First Year Experience website.
The Office of First Year Experience has programs specifically designed for incoming freshmen and transfer students to IU. These programs include new student orientation, which incoming students must access by setting up IU computing accounts and two-step login in order to complete the required NSO components.
Programs through the Office of First Year Experience also include Welcome Week programs consisting of CultureFest and the Freshman Induction Ceremony, which includes of campus organizations and performances all set up. There’s also the Hoosier Experience, a guide to events and activities on campus consisting of four tiers — explore, engage, reflect and earn.
Also available are Residential Programs and Services and the Parent Advisory Board. Residential Programs and Services guides parents through the housing assignment process. The Parent Advisory Board consists of IU parents from across the nation who provide input in the programs and services supported by the Division of Student Affairs.
