Parent Program

Your son or daughter will be entering more than just a school this fall—he or she will be entering a community. CSU, Chico will become your son's or daughter’s home away from home. Parents play an important role in students’ transition to their new home and in their success in college, so we offer an orientation program designed to support you as you support your student.

Our Parent Program runs concurrently with our Student Program. It includes activities, workshops, and presentations that will give you information and resources that will enable you to help your son or daughter throughout his or her years at CSU, Chico. We encourage you to share in your student’s discovery of Chico by attending the Parents’ Program at Summer Orientation.
