Welcome! We're excited for you to join the Longhorn family.

The next step in your journey is to participate in Family Orientation, where you'll learn about resources to help you help your student successfully transition to UT Austin and thrive on the Forty Acres. Family Orientation is optional, but encouraged.

We're looking forward to helping you get in the "Longhorn State of Mind" at Family Orientation!
