FASET is not just for students, it's for parents and supporters as well! Whether you have been on the Georgia Tech campus before or this is your first time visiting, there is always something to learn, something to experience, and someone to meet. The Parent and Guest Orientation Program is an excellent opportunity for parents and supporters to become familiar with Georgia Tech. Parents and supporters continue to play a role of the utmost importance in their college student's development and education, and Parent and Guest Orientation helps parents and supporters create realistic expectations for their students and offers a great deal of information to assist parents, supporters, and students in making the transition to Georgia Tech.

While attending FASET is not mandatory, it is a great way for parents and supporters to learn ways to support their student through the various experiences they will encounter at Tech. The Office of New Student and Transition Programs strongly believes that parent and supporter participation during a student's transition to college is invaluable, and we hope you will choose to attend FASET.
