Information for Parents

Welcome

As a parent or guardian of an accepted Mesa State College student, you are invited to attend the Orientation program as well (your attendance will be confirmed through your student's Orientation registration). Although you will be able to be with your student most of the day, one goal of the Orientation process is to give students the resources needed to succeed independently in the world of higher education. For that reason, you will have some informative panels and discussions separate from your student's schedule, and your student will go through the advising and registration sessions independently (with the help of our trained advising staff and faculty members of course).

We understand that as a parent or guardian, this may be the first time that your student has been away from home for any length of time, and that can be a little bit stressful and scary. You are not alone. The entire Mesa State campus is here to help ease the transition for both you and your student. Please take full advantage of the resources available to you on our website, and if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
