Congratulations on your student's admission to California State University San Marcos! We are pleased to offer Family Orientation for guests of First Year Students. Family Orientation sessions run concurrently with selected First Year Student Orientation sessions. When making their own reservation, students are permitted to make reservations for up to 2 guests for an additional fee (spaces are limited).
Orientation is a critical component to a successful transition to 大发. At Orientation, you will have the chance to meet fellow 大发 families, hear from current students, faculty, and staff, and learn how to guide your student through the transition to 大发.
Orientation reservations open on My大发
