Attend Summer Orientation

To help you become acclimated to our campus, we have designed a parent and family orientation program during Summer Orientation. You'll attend one of five Summer Orientation sessions in June, which focus primarily on the academic portion of your student’s experience, but also give you as a parent or family member the opportunity to gather a bevy of critical information. Learn how to register with your student for this event.

SUMMER SEND OFFS

Making friends before you start classes is even easier when you attend a Summer Send Off in the city nearest you. You can join alumni, parents, and fellow incoming students for send-offs in Atlanta, Birmingham, Charleston, Charlotte, Columbia, Greenville, Nashville, Western NC, and Raleigh. For event dates and locations, email patty.white@furman.edu​. 

Financial information

We recognize the significant investment your family makes to attain a Furman education. We also know that the process of applying for and assessing financial aid can be a daunting task. That’s why we’re going out of our way to ensure you and your student are prepared financially. Get the financial details you need.

Family Weekend

Save the date: We’re welcoming Furman’s extended family back to campus September 26-28 for Family Weekend.
