Parent Day

In furtherance of the goal of New Student Orientation, Parent day seeks to provide parents and guardians with important insights and information needed to assist undergraduate students in making a successful transition to college.

Dear Cal State Northridge Parent,

We are happy to welcome you to California State University Northridge. During the summer, the New Student Orientation, had the pleasure of welcoming your student to our University and were able to introduce them to many resources and programs Cal State Northridge has to offer. Now, it's your turn!

The New Student Orientation is geared toward preparing new students for a successful transition to CSUN; however, part of that transition involves the encouragement and understanding of their family. You are part of the process that will promote your students success!

You may be apprehensive about this huge change, but you can be sure that you are sending your student to a campus that is dedicated to your student's overall success. Likewise, we are dedicated to orienting you to the campus community and its student life as well. We have developed a Parent Day program designed to help answer the questions and concerns that can surface during this challenging transition.

We encourage you to play a key role in your student's success here at Cal State Northridge. To better help you with this integral task, our goal is to introduce you to the opportunities and resources that have already been offered to your student, thus making you a partner in your son or daughters collegiate experience. These resources can help ensure that your student's college years are enjoyable, productive, successful and unforgettable.

We want to make the transition to college as comfortable as possible for you and your "young adult". It is important to us that you feel comfortable and enthusiastic about your student attending Cal State Northridge. As a result, Parent Day was designed to provide information about various resources available to help your student succeed at that this fine University.

Although it may not seem like it, your support and encouragement are needed now more than ever. Thank you for investing your time with us. We are proud and eager to welcome you into the CSUN family! Go Matadors!
