Parents (and other adult family members) who are interested in attending Orientation with their students are strongly encouraged to do so. For students attending a session at the Orlando campus, a Family Orientation program is held concurrently with the student program; however the family program is separate from the student program.
The Family Orientation session provides an opportunity to learn about all that UCF has to offer and to ask questions of other families, current students, university staff, and administrators. It also provides insight into the kinds of adjustments students and their families will face during the college years.
There is a cost associated with each adult family member attending, which includes the price of a meal. For more information, please choose your student’s admit type (Freshman or Transfer) and campus.
Due to space limitations, we are not able to offer overnight accommodations to guests of students. Please also note that there are no overnight housing accommodations for students during the August and Spring FTIC orientation sessions or any of the Transfer Orientation sessions.
All parents attending orientations must make their own accommodations (ask for the UCF Orientation Rate).
The UCF Card is your student’s ID card. To obtain their card, students will need to visit the UCF Card Office. It can be used like a debit card for purchases on campus and at several UCF area restaurants. It can also be used to get into student activities such as UCF Athletics events, concerts, and various other activities.
Each family will receive a bag full of helpful materials. The bag includes a UCF calendar, a campus map, and a UCF Family Orientation Handbook which includes the services provided and contact information regarding UCF offices and resources.
