Metropolitan Campus Parent and Family Orientation
Welcome to Fairleigh Dickinson University and the Metropolitan Campus! We are excited to welcome you and your student to campus this summer! Please register for a Parent Orientation Session which is most convenient for you!
Please note that while you can choose to attend orientation on the same date as your student, you will need to register separately and that your orientation will be separate from your student. You and your student will have separate sessions throughout the day on campus and then will reconnect in the evening at 5:00 PM. You and your student may arrive for check-in by 9:00 AM on the day of orientation. We will follow up with more details about arrival location, etc., as your scheduled date approaches. Your student has also received communication about how to sign up for an orientation date.
