Explore life as a Mountaineer during Family Orientation and get a glimpse into the college experience at App State! Family members will learn how to support their student’s success through sessions led by university administrators, faculty, and current students.

Registration is required, with a maximum of two guests per student. Family Orientation is separate from Student Orientation, but both programs take place concurrently.

Schedule: Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., with sessions from 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Each family will receive one meal voucher for lunch.  If you’d like to purchase additional meals, coffee, smoothies, or anything else on campus, please bring a separate method of payment. Please note: App State’s campus is cashless, so you must bring a card if you plan to purchase additional items.

Boone weather can be unpredictable, so bring a jacket and wear comfortable shoes for exploring campus and navigating its hills.

For disability-related accommodations, contact the Office of Disability Resources at least two weeks before your event.
