2024 Muir College Parent & Family Orientation Information 

Congratulations on your student’s decision to attend John Muir College at UC San Diego! We hope that you also will engage with the college through opportunities we are offering along with your student's Orientation.

As this is an exciting time in your students educational journey, we can imagine it is an exciting and proud time for you as well.  Muir College provides you with an opportunity to connect with college staff and information about services and resources in a space with other families who are experiencing similar transitions within their families.

Whether your student is living on campus or commuting, they will  be provided with presentations and information aimed at preparing them for this important transition and the college experience your student is about to begin.

We are committed to providing parents and families with information required to be a successful Triton supporter. We will offer an opportunity for you to meet Muir College staff and collaborate with various campus partners specifically designed for parents and families during the summer and during Orientation.
