Family & Guest Orientation
For the next few years Humboldt State will be your student’s home away from home. We recognize that families and friends play a critical role in the success of college students.
Are you wondering what to do while your student is involved with orientation? Feel like you have your own questions to ask? This optional orientation is designed specifically for you.
Please keep in mind that family members and guests will not be invited to participate in the student HOP orientation activities.
- Session: August 15-17, 2012
- We will offer workshops on HSU services and policies.
- We will introduce you to faculty and staff across campus as well as provide opportunities to interact with other parents.
- The cost to participate is $40 per person. This includes any member of the family or any guest that plans to participate in these activities.
- Activities are scheduled from 8am on the first day through the afternoon of the third day of the session.
- We encourage you to visit our Traveling to Arcata for information about lodging in the area.
- We do not offer special programs for children or teenagers, but they are welcome to attend.
- Families are welcome to arrive at any time. If you plan to check-in after 10am, please head directly to the HOP office in Nelson Hall East, Room 207 (the building next to the bookstore). Only students with serious and compelling reasons should be checking in after 9am.
- Reservations for the family & guest orientation are to be made at the same time that the new HSU student is reserving a space in the HOP session.
Parents Stay Connected
All HSU parents and families are encouraged to join the Parents & Family Network. In addition to being able to communicate with other HSU parents, you will receive periodic updates from the University. It’s a great way to stay connected to the campus community, no matter where you are!
