Welcome to the University of California, Santa Barbara Community!
Your decision to attend UCSB is the beginning of what we know will be an extremely rewarding experience for you and your family. Our Student Orientation program will introduce you to UCSB, student life, important student services, and academic expectations at the university level. Students who participate in Orientation will receive extensive academic advising and meet with staff and continuing UCSB students.
UCSB has also designed a Parent & Family Orientation program that will help parents to support, understand, and encourage their student during the transition to university life. Each Parent & Family Orientation session includes a separate schedule that will address the concerns and interests of parents of an entering college student.
