This is where students craft their course schedule. We also offer parents, guardians, family and friends a chance to meet with key campus figures to explore life at Tech. You'll get the rundown on campus life, available services, financial aid and more - all before your student steps foot in the classroom.  Note: students must sign-up for this event to register for classes .

We've put together a helpful checklist with steps newly admitted students need to take and resources they can rely on when they get here. Learn more about their path and you'll be able to help them stay on track. After all, every journey is better when your family and friends can come along.

Check out our Vita Navis Career Assessment for students

We're using a powerful online tool to help your student get the most out of their college experience - and make a great career choice. The assessment helps students pinpoint their interests and strengths, then ties them to career where they can flourish. But you can check out how it works, too.

Explore campus and find resources

If you haven't been to campus yet, a great way to see it for yourself is by taking our campus tour. It'll give you a snapshot of where your student will be learning, eating, living on campus and more. We also have a handy department directory. If you need to get in touch with someone from financial aid, reach a professor or talk to someone from housing, the directory will help you track down the right person.

Being a college student means being busy. It's easy to get into the groove of schoolwork and forget to take a break to reset or miss an opportunity participate in something awesome. Our campus calendar is updated regularly with fun activities for students, outdoor excursions, fascinating lectures, community service events and more. Plus, it features important deadlines, holidays and other administrative dates. Keep and eye on the calendar and remind your student what's ahead. Trust us - they'll thank you for it!
