Parent & Family Orientation

Dear BU Families,

Welcome to Boston University! We are so excited to have you and your student join our vibrant community.

As your student begins their transition to BU, you might be asking yourself a lot of questions about student life and your involvement. We’ll cover it all in our Parent & Family orientation program this spring. Comprised of seven, on-line Know Before You Go sessions, the program gives you an opportunity to learn about academics, life on campus, and belonging at BU. The sessions will include the following topics:

• Getting Started
• Living on Campus
• Student Success
• Health & Wellness
• Campus Connections
• Student Opportunities
• Belonging at BU

Unable to attend? No worries. Every session will be recorded and made available on our website for you to view at your convenience.

Another great way to stay informed is to join our Terrier Family Network. As a member, you’ll have access to our portal for important updates, a calendar, and news about the university. In addition, you will receive our newsletter to ensure that you have the most up-to-date, accurate information about your student’s BU journey.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 617-358-1187 or by email at parents@bu.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

We look forward to welcoming you to our BU family.

All best,

Christy Loring, Director Parent & Family Programs
