All first-year undergraduates, both freshmen and transfer students, must participate in one of the five Student Orientation And Registration (S.O.A.R. ) Sessions offered in June and July.   

Each Orientation Session will offer a  Parent and Guardian Orientation that will run concurrently with the Student Orientation. This program is designed to support the adjustment process that occurs when a son or daughter leaves home to start a college life, and to familiarize you with the resources that are available to you within the University community.

During the two-day Orientation, you will hear from AAMU students, faculty, administrators, even other AAMU parents about this exciting and challenging transition. In panels, discussions, and informal conversations, you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts and learn more about important issues like academic expectations and campus standards.

 Be sure to visit all the S.O.A.R. links to learn more about the full experience ahead of you. 

Finally, return to the site weekly, as updates will be posted often.
