All parents and/or guardians of incoming students, both freshman and transfer, are invited to attend Parents Orientation free of charge. Parents are provided with information on student services, expenses, and how to assist your student in transitioning to college. You also have the opportunity to meet with selected faculty members and meet current TROY students!

Because incoming students will be staying in on-campus dorms overnight, parents/guardians are encouraged to find other accommodation/lodging. ÁùºÏ±¦µä has several hotels and Airbnbs close to campus.

During Freshman sessions, students will stay in one of our dorms on campus! Parents are encouraged to book a hotel room or Airbnb. 

At IMPACT, you can expect to:

• Meet many new people: current students, new students, faculty, staff, and administration.
• Learn how to plan your class schedule.
• Familiarize yourself with TROY policies and procedures for registration.
• Discover more about the student services and activities at TROY.
• Get more information on student organizations.

Beginning college is a key life transition. Whether you move away from home or live close enough to continue living with family, you will assume greater responsibility, meet a variety of diverse people, and adjust to the academic demands of college life. Our new student orientation, IMPACT, is designed to cater to your every need while beginning college at TROY. You will begin the process of transitioning to your new college environment. At IMPACT you will meet new people, learn how to get involved on campus, and register for fall classes: three essential elements which will foster a successful transition to the TROY family.
 

This major life transition is also important for parents and/or guardians of the student. Therefore, we offer parent sessions concurrently with the student sessions for both freshmen and transfers.

We look forward to presenting new student information in the most engaging, informative, and most importantly, safest way as possible. We are so excited to be able to serve you as you begin your journey as a TROY Trojan, and we're here to assist in any way possible.
