Parent Orientation

Welcome Parents of incoming students for Fall 2026!

As your student begins their transition to college at WestConn, we know that this will be a period of transition for parents as well. During the orientation session you will have a chance to learn more about the WestConn community and hear from members of the WestConn Police Department as well as the Financial Aid and Bursar offices. At WestConn, we take pride in a campus that supports students and fosters their growth as they develop academically, professionally and socially. We invite you to be part of university life here, too. And now, as a parent of a WestConn student, you will have the opportunity to do just that.
