Information for Parents
2011 Parent Orientation was held on June 14th and 16th. If you missed the opportunity to attend, you can download the parent orientation handbook (below) or contact orientation@ufv.ca for more information.
As the parent of a first-time university undergraduate, you may be experiencing mixed emotions as your student prepares to make such a big step. You are proud of his/her accomplishments, but like most parents you have concerns about your student’s future. It’s true that students have much to consider and many choices to make. Research has shown that parental advice is a strong influence as students make these decisions.
For incoming students, Orientation is the first step in their transition to UFV; this is where they are able to get answers and guidance to set them off on the right path from the first day. In a similar fashion, UFV’s special Parent Orientation is designed to answer your questions and address your concerns about the university experience.
UFV believes that parents are valuable partners and coaches in any students’ academic journey. Having knowledge about campus departments, programs, and services will make it easier for you to discuss suitable resources and to encourage your student to seek assistance when required.
