Welcome Families and Supporters!
Families and supporters are valued members of our UAlbany community and critical partners in supporting new student transitions. We offer several resources to support family members during Orientation and throughout the academic year.
Summer 2024 Orientation Programs
Family members and supporters are welcome to attend a Family and Supporter Connection Day program that is concurrent with the student programs. We will have information sessions and resources designed to answer your questions and help you acclimate to the UAlbany community.
Registration for Connection Day is available through the Application Portal. Students should register family members during Connection Day registration. There is no additional fee for Family and Supporter Connection Day.
Connection Day:
The Family and Supporter Program during Connection Day includes several sessions designed to share resources and acclimate you to the UAlbany campus. Topics include:
- Academic Support Services
- Health and Well-being
- Financing your Education Q&A
- Campus Tour
Please note that there is not a Family program offered during Welcome Week Orientation. We encourage all families and supporters to join us back on campus in the fall for Great Dane Family Weekend.
