New Student Orientation Family

Family

As your student begins to discover the buff in them, we invite you to take part in one of our informative family and guest sessions. We have designed these sessions to assist you as you continue to guide and support your student through their transition. Additionally, these sessions will provide you with all the necessary nuts-and-bolts information that you will need to know. By attending these sessions, not only will you feel better about your choice in WTAMU for your student's education, you will too gain a sense of Buff Pride. We strongly encourage you to attend the family and guests sessions.

Please indicate the number of guests per student when registering for NSO. These sessions will run concurrently with the student sessions.

Family Lodging Options

If you are interested in an overnight stay in one of our residence halls during NSO, we do offer a limited number of rooms for family and guest members. These rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A stay in the residence halls is not included for family and guests. Should you be interested in reserving one of these rooms, please contact the Office of Residential LIving at 806.651.3000. The cost to stay in the residence hall is $10 per night. Family members will need to bring bed linens and overnight supplies with them as these are not provided.
