New Student and Family Programs
The New Student and Family Programs team focuses on the transition from high school to college and connects students and their families to campus resources, academic life and the TCU community through Orientation, student transfer services, and parent and family programs.
Orientation is designed to assist incoming students and their families with the transition to university life by providing essential information and helping students meet new and continuing students, faculty and staff.
Transfer students are served by providing resources, programs and students mentors to help with a successful transition into TCU. Additionally, the Transfer Connection Space in the Tom Brown Pete Wright Apartment Commons allows transfers and veterans to enjoy students space, programs and computer/printer access.
Parent and Family Programs benefit parents and guardians in numerous ways such as assisting parents in the transitional experiences related to beginning college, providing resources and information to keep parents informed about and involved with the University, and creating a partnership between families and the University.
The TCU Parent Council is comprised of families that meet on campus twice annually to discuss issues surrounding academic and co-curricular activities at TCU. In addition to receiving information the parents provide feedback to administrators, serve as ambassadors to parents within their own communities and assist with University initiatives.
