Orientation for Parents
Students aren’t the only ones going through big changes during the college years. Parents and families also going through a transition when their student joins the campus community at TU.
There are some easy ways to stay connected with everything going on at The University of Tulsa for and with parents, including:
- Follow the TUPFA Facebook page (TUPFA stands for the TU Parent and Family Association).
- Sign-up for occasional emails from the TU Parent and Family Association.
- Follow @utulsa and @StartTU2020 on Twitter as well!
