Parents and Guests
Orientation is a time of transition not only for the students, but also for those individuals closest to the student, whether they be parents, grandparents, legal guardians, spouses, or significant others.
We invite you to accompany your student to the orientation program. There will be a special session devoted particularly to parent/family issues. You will hear about many of the services available at IU South Bend to assist your student, as well as from various faculty, staff, and students about the transition to the university environment.
In the afternoon, students will be attending academic unit information sessions. In some cases, parents and guests may accompany their student. Please refer to the schedule below:
