Friday Live Coffee Hour
The opportunity to engage with a panel of UTA Professionals about all things related to the Maverick Experience for you and your student! Join us on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. beginning June 12, 2020.
Parents & Guests
Welcome to the Maverick Community!
You are also a valued member of our Maverick family. New Maverick Orientation is the first step, for you and your student, on your exciting new journey. Parent and family involvement is imperative for a student’s journey through college. The New Maverick Orientation Parent/Guest Program is designed to acquaint you with the University and all it has to offer.
What You Will Gain
- Learn about campus resources, academic expectations, and involvement opportunities
- Ask questions of current students, faculty and staff
The parent program occurs simultaneously with the new student program. While your student is required to attend New Maverick Orientation, the parent program is optional, but highly encouraged.
Live Parent and Guest Sessions
Want to learn about valuable resources, services, and benefits for the entire family. Then join us in real-time for New Maverick Orientation Live Information Sessions.
