Family Orientation

The University of Tampa community is pleased to present Family Orientation to our Class of 2024 parents, families and guardians.

Family orientation will be hosted as an online experience for the Fall 2020 semester. Families of incoming new students are invited to join us for an informational and engaging series of presentations. Throughout the month of August, the Office of Orientation and Family Engagement will share information from campus administrators for you to learn more about UT and assist you with your student’s transition to campus. There is no fee to participate in this program.
