Parent & Family Transition

Welcome Parents, Family Members, and Supporters!

We are thrilled to have your student at AU and to have you join our community. This is an exciting time for you, and we have resources to help ease the transition. You have many opportunities to learn about the University and to participate in campus events, particularly those that showcase Augusta University's teaching and research missions.

All parents and families are encouraged to attend our Parent and Family Orientation, whether your student is a First-Year student or Transfer student. We have created this page to help all parents and guests understand what resources and information will be available throughout your students time with Augusta University. We encourage you to take some time to explore this site and learn more about the campus and Augusta community.

We hope to provide you and your student with an experience like no other as you transition into the Augusta University community.
