Should your parents decide to take part in the Parent Orientation Program, they will check-in at the same location as you on the scheduled day of their program. After check-in, parents and students will part and parents will follow a separate orientation designed to address their specific needs and concerns. More specifically, parents and guests will be placed in small groups separate from the student experience. The parent program is one day in length, lasting from 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Program Overview
Concluding Orientation
Parents can expect their orientation to conclude by 5:00 p.m. Your parents should meet you in the Montgomery Ward Lounge located on the second floor of UIC Student Center East. Student Orientation Leaders will direct you and your parents to this lounge after the conclusion of their program.
