Parent Orientation
Parent Orientation
College is an emotional and financial investment for the whole family. That's why Detroit Mercy offers an orientation just for parents of new students. Our one-day program will provide information to assist with your transition to becoming a college parent, equip you with the resources necessary to help your student achieve success and introduce you to faculty, advisors, staff, support personnel and other parents. Plus, you will enjoy a complimentary lunch.
Registration for Parent Orientation will become available in the spring.
