Family & Supporter Orientation - University of Houston
Skip to main content

Transitioning to college is a big step — one that can be overwhelming and confusing for students. That’s why we want to make sure you can help your student navigate this life-changing process by having all the information about the University of Houston at your disposal.

Learn more about everything UH has to offer you and your student at Family & Supporter Orientation. You'll get the opportunity to learn about resources available on campus, learn more about financial aid and meet other families & supporters joining the Cougar Family!

Family & Supporter Orientation is a one-day in-person experience. Registering in advance ensures your attendance at our catered family meals for an associated fee (which covers all meals and UH Swag bag). Learn more and register your supporters today.

Orientation Fees and Refunds

The fee for all Family & Supporter Orientation sessions (Freshmen and Transfer) is $50. Registration is available until five business days prior to orientation, or until full for the specific date. When registration closes, family and supporters will not have access to add/edit family members or supporters in the portal.

All orientation fees for both students and family and supporter members are non-refundable. 

New Student Programs does not offer housing for Family & Supporter Orientation. We do offer a discount code for our Hilton Hotel that is housed on the University of Houston campus, if family members and supporters would like to stay.
