If you have questions or need additional information, please contact us and let our team know how we can assist you.
Parent Co-Pilot Webinars
Parents and guardians of prospective undergraduate students, we invite you to join us live for Parent Co-Pilot events. In case you missed a live a event, recordings are available.
We can’t wait to welcome families to campus for Welcome Weekend — Aug. 22-24. To see what to expect, check out the schedule of Welcome Weekend events, and be sure to register for our upcoming Parent Co-Pilot webinar on July 28.
Please check with your student to ensure their final high school transcript, AP exam scores and dual enrollment transcripts, if applicable, are submitted directly to the University of Dayton Office of the Registrar by our Aug. 1 deadline.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that sets forth certain rights students have regarding their education records.
In accordance with FERPA, the University will protect the privacy of your student’s education records unless they give us permission to disclose information with parents, guardians or others. This means UD faculty and staff cannot discuss billing, grades, course registration or other official records with you without your student’s consent.
Please review this information with your student to ensure they complete the necessary steps in Porches to authorize you to make payments and access account information, if desired.
We loved seeing our newest students and families at orientation. To continue preparing for their first semester at UD, your student will complete a series of required online courses on Canvas, the University’s online learning platform.
Details for accessing the Navigating Your Transition course and Community Education Modules will be sent to your student’s UD email account and are also included in our post-orientation checklist and your student’s Porches To-do List.
