Welcome to the Beacon Community!

UMass Boston invites you to join us for a very special orientation program just for you, known as Family Orientation.

Designed to help you support your student as they navigate their UMass Boston experience, this 1-day on-campus orientation experience will take place concurrently with your student's orientation. It will cover important topics including academic success, student engagement, campus resources, and much more. Please note: Family Orientation is for student supporters. Your student will not attend Family Orientation and you will not attend your student’s orientation.

The cost to attend this one day program is $25 for up to 2 guests.  Additional attendees are $10.00 each.  Registration Fee is Non-Refundable.

The fee includes:

• Continental Breakfast
• Lunch featuring UMass Boston Dining eats
• Afternoon snacks
• Welcome Bag & Family Calendar
• $15.00 parking validation for one vehicle

To register, please complete the form below.  Make sure to verify the date your student is attended their on-campus orientation so you can attend the same day.

Can’t make orientation? No problem. The Beacon Family Hub has a lot of resources and new content will be added throughout the spring semester.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at family@umb.edu.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

The Orientation Team
