Student Activities & Orientation

Parents and Families

Our Student Activities and Orientation (SAO) Team is ready to make sure you start your college career off strong. See this year's orientation schedule, run through our new student checklist, and read our guide for incoming students. Explore registered student organizations and find  people who share your interests or join Student Senate. Our resources will help you prepare for a smooth transition into College.

Parents and guardians of new Aquinas Saints often have questions about what their student's experience will be like here on campus. We've created resources just for parents and families including an FAQ, a list of common difficulties students might need to navigate, and contacts to reach out to.
