Family Orientation

Your student is officially becoming a Louisville Cardinal, and we want to invite you to join in on the fun!

Register for Family Orientation this summer, where we will make sure you have all the necessary information you need to partner with and support your student as they begin their future with us at UofL! Family Orientation is optional, but encouraged.

Registration Information:

Your student has the ability to register up to two guests/family members for Family Orientation through their New Cards Gateway (where they paid their enrollment deposit and registered for student orientation). The Family Orientation registration fee is $50 per guest.

Preregistration is highly encouraged. Due to space limitations, we cannot guarantee entrance the day of programming for anyone not preregistered.

2025 Family Orientation Session Dates:

Family Orientation sessions are held on day one of each student orientation session from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm ET. Because the Student and Family Orientation sessions are separate, family members may either register for a session their student is attending or choose to attend Family Orientation on a separate date from their student if that works better for their schedule.
