Your student is on their way to becoming a Wildcat! We know you may have many questions during this process. During our Orientations, we encourage family members to attend with their student. Family Orientation is not required but highly encouraged.
Students are limited to 2 guests, including younger siblings.
Our One-Day Sessions do not include an overnight component. However, we encourage students and families to arrive the day before to explore the city and ensure they are ready for the 8:00 AM start. Fairfield Charlotte Uptown has a preferred hotel rate for students and families coming to visit the institution. Click here for reservation link!
Parents and family members requiring reasonable accommodations while attending Orientation should indicate their requests during registration. All requests must be submitted no later than two weeks prior to your arrival on campus for the orientation session you have selected. If you require additional information, contact Assistant Director of Accessibility Services at 980-598-1500
