Transfer Orientation Family and Guests

Parents, siblings and extended family members play a vital role in a student's transition into the Oswego community.  The college years are ones of tremendous growth and change for your student.  For families, these years are a challenging time of adjustment in your relationship with your student.  While your son or daughter will become increasingly independent, he or she will require your support and guidance for success.

Because this time can be rewarding and challenging for the entire family, we offer a TRANSFERmation program for parents and family members which runs parallel to the student program.  This program features a combination of workshops that both student and parent/family members attend together in addition to specially designed parent/family member only workshops.  The student and parent/family programs are held on the same dates and at the same times, providing a convenience for both the student and family to get the information needed in order to assist with the transition to Oswego.

Whether this is your first or last student to go off to college, whether you live in a small town or a large city, the parent/family program will provide you with valuable information.  This information will help you become familiar with our campus community, resources, programs. and services so you can better support your student's transition to SUNY Oswego.

Our parent/family program is also a lot of fun!  Come, let us welcome you into our family.  We have SO much to tell you!
