At the University of Missouri-St. Louis, we believe that parents and families play an essential role in the overall success of students. We strive to ensure that the college experience is rewarding, both academically and socially for your student. By providing important resources, communication, education and relationships to our parents, we can help our students by giving them the necessary support that will enable them to accomplish their goals.

Parent and Family Orientation Experience

Orientation is designed to create a dynamic, celebratory and welcoming environment—not only for new students, but also for every parent and family member who joins our UMSL community.

You are invited to upcoming family-friendly orientation activities to make connections with administrators and fellow parents and families while learning more about the University of Missouri-St. Louis, experience your student’s college life, and make lifelong memories together.
