The College Transition
At UNT we understand that no student reaches the achievement of attending college without the support and guidance of important role models. We also know the transition to college can affect the whole family.
Parent Programs, as a part of the office of Orientation and Transition Programs, plans a number of events focused on family inclusion through parent and family involvement on our campus.
Parent Programs Coordinates:
Summer Send-Off Parties
Each summer, just before school begins, we travel to cities across Texas hosting Summer Send-Off Parties. All freshmen and their families are invited to mix and mingle with other UNT families from the area, as well as ask UNT representatives last-minute questions.
Family Weekend
What’s better than a chance to visit campus, spend time with your student and meet other families doing the same thing? Family Weekend offers programming for the entire family! Events include the President’s Breakfast, the Family Weekend 5K Run, the Parent Association’s biannual meeting and a tailgate prior to a Mean Green football game. For new students, the event marks the perfect time to introduce family members to new friends, involve the family in campus culture, or show off Mean Green pride.
Communication with Parents
From the Parent Programs monthly newsletter to special events for family members, we want you to stay informed about campus happenings. If you have a question about UNT, email us at parents@unt.edu.
