Information about Parent and Family Orientation:

To help get you acquainted with the Millersville campus, family members of incoming Millersville University students are invited to attend a 1-day Parent & Family Orientation program.  At this time, parents will have the chance to become familiar with a variety of services and resources on campus through interactive presentations and discussion. The program also provides an opportunity for family members to explore the campus and begin to get a feel for the Millersville community.

Parent and Family Orientation dates are June 25, July 15, or July 23, 2011.  

Please Note:

  • There is no programming for entering students during Parent & Family Orientation. Students will attend their own Orientation program beginning on August 24th, 2011, and should therefore not plan on attending the Parent & Family Orientation sessions.
  • Please also note that reservations must be made ahead of time.  Space is limited and reservations will be honored on a first come/first served basis.  Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate walk-ins.
  • Registration for each Parent & Family Orientation session will close one week prior to the Orientation date (unless the session reaches capacity before then).

Common Reading

In addition to the many opportunities your student will have to connect with new classmates, he/she will also have chances to interact with faculty, staff and administration. The Common Reading Program held during orientation is one such opportunity. Faculty, staff and administration from all areas of campus volunteer to discuss the common reading that all incoming students are expected to complete before their arrival to campus in August. Consider the Common Reading Program as an introduction to academic life at Millersville University. View More
