Parents/Guests

 

At Mizzou we recognize that families are in transition when students journey to college.  Orientation to university life is important to help parents and other family members understand and support their new students.  Therefore, a specially tailored parent/guest program will be provided for all parents and guests attending Winter Welcome.

Orientation fee

Every parent and guest over age 18 must pay a $13 orientation fee.  This fee covers Lunch and all orientation publications. 

Office of Parent Relations

The Division of Student Affairs houses the Office of Parent Relations—a central campus resource for parents of MU students.  Parental involvement plays a significant role in higher education.  The office assists parents in understanding their role in their student’s transition to MU, provides clear lines of communication with the University and serves as a gateway for positive parental involvement and partnerships. 

 All parents are encouraged to visit the MU parent Web site:  mizzouparents.missouri.edu

Sign up for the monthly parent e-newsletter under the “Stay Informed” tab, access a list of commonly contacted offices and get advice and tips on a wide range of topics related to parenting a college student.  Have a question or comment?  Use the toll-free parent assistance line and e-mail address, or submit directly to our Web site using the “Ask A Question” feature.
