Parent & Family Orientation

Welcome new students, parents, and families! In light of the ongoing and changing environment due to COVID-19, we have reconstructed the Revelle College orientation experience for Fall 2020. Mandatory programming events will take place exclusively online. We are continuing to offer a fun, interactive, and informative orientation experience for everyone, including those who will be with us on campus and those starting remotely. We will keep you updated here and via your student's ucsd.edu email address.

Welcome Revelle College Parents & Family Members!

We know your important role in supporting your new Revelle College student. This is a big transition for you and your student! As partners in your student's educational experience, we offer a revamped Parent & Family Orientation. Get connected with Revelle College staff to get your questions answered.

While Parent & Family Orientation is not mandatory, it is highly recommended.

If parents and family members are interested in attending, their Revelle student must invite them through the Orientation Registration page at the end of COMPASS. After the student registers, an email invitation to register for Parent and Family orientation will be sent to the email provided. The email invitation does not confirm registration! Parents and family members must complete their registration separately from students. Emails were sent on August 17 2020. If you believe there was an error, please contact us at revelleorientation@ucsd.edu so we can resolve this.

This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are offering Parent & Family Orientation completely online, September 21, 2020, 9:00am - 12:00pm (PT). Orientation will be pre-recorded and released in the near future. Because this is a virtual online orientation experience, there is no admission fee. We hope you'll join in to meet our Provost, Dean of Student Affairs, Dean of Academic Advising, and our student and faculty panelists as we answer your questions and offer help in supporting your Revelle College student.

After students complete their registration process, we will email family members a registration form. Please join us live online, September 21! See you then!
