Parent and Family Orientation

The University of Texas at El Paso welcomes you!

We are excited to welcome you and your student to the Miner community! As the parent and family of a new student, we recognize that you have questions of your own. We want to reassure you that we are here to help you and your student navigate through this exciting experience. This begins with orientation. Our Parent and Family Virtual Orientation program will introduce you to faculty and staff that will discuss academics and highlight resources available to support your student and you all in a successful transition to university life. The program will be virtual through Microsoft Teams and facilitated in English or Spanish.
