Transitioning to college is a big step—one that can be overwhelming and confusing for students. That’s why we want to make sure you can help your student navigate this life-changing process by having all the infromation about the University of Houston at your disposal.

Learn more about everything UH has to offer you and your student at Family & Guest Orientation. You'll get the opportunity to learn about resources available on campus, learn more about financial aid, and meet other families & guests joining the Cougar Family!

For family and guests of incoming freshman, orientation is a two-day in-person experience. For family and guests of incoming transfer students, orientation is a one-day in-person experience.
