Parents and Families Orientation

Your student is coming to Michigan Tech because of the care and support they received from parents and family like you. Each family looks a little different, but they often include parents, grandparents, guardians, relatives, friends, and others. The transition between life at home and college can be difficult for students and families. We want to support you and your future Husky in the best way possible.

All incoming students must attend both a Summer Session and the Fall Orientation Week.
