Abstract

The purpose of this project was to create a general guide for parents of new college students that could be distributed by any college or university prior to their orientation program. The guide informs parents about common practices in orientation and helps answer many questions they might have about the orientation experience. This should help parents to feel more prepared for the orientation experience and the impending transition they and their students will go through. The distribution of this guide should also help orientation professionals by answering questions for parents before their orientation sessions as well to teach parents what is expected of them during their child's orientation program.
