Parent & Family

Welcome Parents and Families!

The IPFW New Student Orientation staff recognizes that you are a valuable part of your student's orientation and successful transition to IPFW.  We welcome you to join your student as they complete their Orientation College Day at IPFW. We ask that if you plan to accompany your student, that you fill in the family registration portion of the registration system when your student registers for their College Day. We will have a special parent and family check-in and will provide you with additional resources to guide you thru your Orientation day. 

In addition to various sessions designed to help you support your student's successful transition to IPFW, we will have a Financial Aid Individual Consultation session in which you will have the opportunity to meet with our Financial Aid staff and ask questions specifically related to your student. Campus tours and Student Housing tours will also be available at the end of our day should you wish to see our beautiful campus and residential living.

We would like to highlight two resources for you to visit as you prepare to attend SOAR: IPFW Family Outreach web page as well as the IPFW Academic Advising Guide for Families of New Students.

We look forward to meeting you and your student at IPFW New Student Orientation!
