Transfer Orientation

Our Parent & Guest Program is designed to help guests know as much as possible about the University so they will be in a better position to encourage and support their student while he/she is pursuing a degree at Sacramento State. During Orientation, guests will learn about academic requirements necessary for their student to get a degree and the numerous programs and services available to help them reach that goal. Many of these services are free! Students are encouraged to bring their parent/guest with them to Orientation.
