The transition to college is an exciting time that involves the whole family. We encourage family and friends to join us during Summer Orientation to learn more about how the transition to college and more specifically Wheaton College is a collaborative experience between the student, the college, and the student’s family.

Registration:
Family and Friends registration is a part of your student’s orientation registration. Your student will receive a personalized link to register via their Wheaton email when registration goes live. Students are able to bring up to two guests to Orientation with them.
Schedule:
Family and Friends Orientation will occur on the same day as your student’s Orientation MAP Day. This program is offered to the families and friends of our incoming students to help them acclimate to Wheaton College to enable them to coach their student through their new experience on campus.
Check-in will begin at 8:30am, along with a continental breakfast. Students and their families are invited to attend a Welcome program featuring Faculty and Senior Leadership commencing at 9:30am in Weber Theater. During the day, families will engage with Student Support Offices and enjoy various opportunities to connect with the campus community. The Student and Family Programs will wrap up by 4:00 pm on the same day.
