At UC San Diego and Thurgood Marshall College, we recognize that our students often have people in their lives who have supported and encouraged them on their road to success. We welcome you to the Triton family!

Parent and Family Orientation offers the opportunity to preview campus life, learn about available resources, meet staff and faculty, and discuss what to expect during your student's first few quarters at UC San Diego. Parent and Family Orientation is a unique program, separate from the New Student Orientation.

Parent & Family Orientation (Optional)

In collaboration with Parent & Family Programs, the campus will offer a series of optional online webinars for family members during the summer. Marshall College will offer an optional virtual session specifically for Marshall College family members in early September. The exact dates are forthcoming, but should be released by early/mid July. These webinars are designed to help family members with the transition of their student to college.
