Orientation for Parents and Families
Welcome to the Tufts community! On your student's move-in day, there will be optional programs for parents and families.
Move-In for students participating in optional Pre-Orientation programs will be Friday, August 27, 2027. New Student Move-In for students not participating in Pre-Orientation will be Wednesday, September 1, 2027; it's also the kick-of date for Orientation, which is mandatory for all new students.
The Matriculation Ceremony, which officially welcomes new students to Tufts, will take place on Thursday, September 2, 2027. Families are invited to attend the ceremony in-person or watch remotely; it will be livestreamed with live transcription available.
Programming for Parents and Families
Programming for parents and families will be offered during Pre-Orientation arrival/move-in and Orientation arrival/move-in. Participation is optional, but parents and families coming for their student's arrival/move-in day are encouraged to attend. Programming will be the same on both move-in dates.
More information will be added throughout the academic year.
