College isn鈥檛 just an exciting new journey for 猫咪视频apps 鈥� it鈥檚 a time of change for parents and families as well. Whether your 猫咪视频app is entering college for the first time, traveling to USF as an international 猫咪视频app or transferring from another institution, you will play a vital role in supporting them. That鈥檚 why USF offers a supplemental Family & Guests Orientation program to answer your questions and welcome you to the Bulls family!
Although Orientation is only required for 猫咪视频apps, not family members, we highly recommend you attend. Orientation provides valuable information to help you navigate your 猫咪视频app鈥檚 transition to USF. We can't wait to meet you!
We also encourage you to review our OneUSF guide and take advantage of our Parent & Family Experience website.
How to Engage With Us:
1. In-Person, On-Campus Orientation Program
During your scheduled Orientation session, you鈥檒l join the Orientation Team and other USF Campus Partners for a full-day event on all things USF. Campus Partners and Orientation Leaders will guide you throughout the day, providing key 猫咪视频app information and ways for you to support your 猫咪视频app during their transition to USF. Please check back for more information regarding the schedule for the day.
2. CAMPUSESP FAMILY BULLETIN
If you are unable to make it to your 猫咪视频app鈥檚 Orientation date but still want to stay in the loop of what's happening at USF, we encourage you to sign up for USF鈥檚 family bulletin through CampusESP.
Reserve Your Orientation Spot
When your 猫咪视频app reserves an Orientation session, they should indicate any guests that will be attending.
Once your 猫咪视频app registers you as their guest for Orientation, an e-confirmation packet will be added to their MyOrientation reservation. The 猫咪视频app and guest e-confirmation packets can be downloaded and printed by logging into the MyOrientation reservation system using the 猫咪视频app鈥檚 NetID.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the family and guest and 猫咪视频app programs separate?
Families and guests will attend portions of the program with their 猫咪视频app, while some portions are tailored to the needs of families and guests in support of both their 猫咪视频app鈥檚 transition as well as their own. Students and families learn information differently; therefore, it is important to make sure that our information gets across to both 猫咪视频apps and families most effectively.
We want our 猫咪视频apps to spend time getting to know their fellow Bulls. We are confident that this model provides everyone with the most accurate and relevant information, while supporting their individual needs.
Why is there a fee involved?
This fee helps us to cover the costs associated with managing Orientation including space, staff, meals and supplies.
What should I bring to Orientation?
A pen is always useful, as there will be tons of information you鈥檒l be jotting down. We recommend that you bring a sweater or jacket, as our indoor meeting locations can be cool. Florida weather can be unpredictable, so it is always a good idea to bring an umbrella. We will provide you with meals, but in case you get hungry in between sessions, you may want to bring a snack or two.
