Freshman Orientation (SOAR)
Parent & Guest Information
Congratulations! Your student has chosen to join a wonderful family here at Tennessee Tech University. We are excited about the many opportunities that await all of our students in 2021. Parent & Guest Orientation is part of the freshman SOAR program and allows you to meet faculty, administrators, and staff who will be working with your student during their college career.
Maybe this is your first child to attend college, or maybe you're an "old pro" at
the college process. Either way, you're probably a little apprehensive about sending
your student to college. You may still have questions about what your student needs
to do next to ensure they have a smooth transition to Tech. This could include wondering
who will help your student register for classes, where they will eat meals, or just
have some fun. All of these questions, and more, will be answered at Parent & Guest
Orientation this summer during SOAR.
Have questions about SOAR?
We want to ensure all of your questions are answered and that your mind is at ease before your student comes to campus for their orientation session. Make sure to check out the Parent & Guest Frequently Asked Questions!
Parent Association You will have the opportunity to learn more about and join the Tennessee Tech Parent
Association (TTUPA) during your student's SOAR session. The TTUPA is a great way for
parents to stay involved in their student's college experience by staying up-to-date
with what's happening on campus and monthly email communications with important dates
and other helpful information. We can't wait to meet you at SOAR!
