Quotes by Spartan parents from Summer 2008

 

My favorite thing about Parent Orientation was...

"EVERYONE was very friendly and helpful. The orientation staff was very knowledgeable and it was very professionally run."

"The clear mesage that you care about my daughter's success."

"Faculty, staff, and student volunteers were all equally enthusiastic, expressed a willingness to answer any and all questions and to make themselves available to parents and students. Programs were very informative."

"VERY organized and easy to navigate. Fun. Lots of blue shirts available. Stress free. Resource Faire was fantastic-everybody seemed to be glad to be participating/wanting to help."

"Very organized and great orientation staff! Outgoing and friendly...TIMING was great! Just long enough for parents! Resource Faire was eye opening...and lots of activities at SJSU!"

Tips to help you prepare for Orientation:

  • Ensure that your Student check their "My SJSU" account regularly.
  • Don't do everything for your student! They need to learn how to navigate on their own and you may not have access.
  • Keep written records of your registration and payment.
  • Learn about important campus resources to be there for your student.
  • It is our pleasure to provide accessible, electronic copies of important orientation handouts.
