Parent Information FormThe University of Lynchburg’s Parent, Family, and New Student Connections office was created to advocate, engage, and connect all Hornet families. We are dedicated to enhancing every student’s learning experience by engaging our parents and families as active partners in supporting student success. We want to provide you with necessary resources and services that will make your student thrive in the Hive.
In addition, we offer orientation programs for all undergraduate students and their families. Orientation is aimed at helping our new Hornets build meaningful relationships. It also establishes connections to resources, services, and programs that will help them be successful socially, academically, intellectually, and emotionally.
