Purchase College Parent Orientation

Parent Orientation runs the same two days as the student's Orientation. This program is designed to give parents the reassurance they need to leave their students in Purchase College’s capable hands, while providing useful and relevant information.

Hear what past parents had to say.

The Parent Orientation schedule includes:                                          

• Buffet lunch and dinner, and breakfast,
• A meeting with the Dean of your student's School,
• Presentations geared to parents by staff from Residence Life, Financial Aid and other offices,
• A chance to visit our More Card Office to ensure your student never goes hungry,
• Tours of our campus, including our very own Neuberger Museum,
• A Jazz Social with dessert to end the day.
