The Office of Student Transitions & Family Programs focuses on developing lasting relationships with students and families that begin at acceptance and extend through commencement. Parents and families are important partners in helping us support students throughout their entire 91ºÚÁÏÍø experience.
In addition to supporting parents and families, we plan and coordinate Orientation for new and transfer students and push forward first-year and second-year experience initiatives and programming. Orientation is a vital step for students as they find their place in our community and build critical social skills while meeting fellow students and learning the layout of campus.
At 91ºÚÁÏÍø, we use the terms “Parent and Family” and “Family Programs” to recognize that support for our students comes from more than just parents. We know that parents, caregivers, guardians, extended family, partners, and friends all help us to support your student during their time at 91ºÚÁÏÍø.
We hope that you’ll make the Gull Parent & Family Resource page your first stop when looking for answers. We will update our page frequently with program information, parent and family resources, and helpful tips. If we don't have the answer, we will connect you to our campus partners that do!
For class registration dates, school vacation dates, and the final exam schedule be sure to check out the Academic Calendar.

Workday
We’re excited to share that Workday Student is officially live—offering you easier access to your student’s grades, tuition balances, class schedules, and more, all in one place!
with your full issued username (example: WDGenerated_jsmith123). Workday replaces Parent Portal. If you previously used Parent Portal to access your student’s information and make payments, please work with your student to set up your new Workday Friends & Family account.
To get started, your student must assign you as a Friends & Family contact and grant "third party permissions" for you to view their account. 91ºÚÁÏÍø cannot grant the permissions on behalf of your Student. Once permissions are granted, you’ll receive two auto-generated emails from Workday with your login credentials and activation instructions. If you wish to make payments on your student’s behalf, you will additionally need to be added as an authorized user in Nelnet.
An overview of Workday Friends & Family at 91ºÚÁÏÍø, including helpful guides and step-by-step instructions, can be found here.
If you encounter issues setting up a Friends & Family account, please via Freshservice. A member of our team will reach out to schedule a phone call or 1:1 meeting.
Important Dates
Winter Orientation for new students starting at 91ºÚÁÏÍø for the Spring 2026 semester is Sunday, January 18.
A full schedule will be posted soon.
