Auburn Parents

Auburn University’s Office of Parent and Family Programs works to maintain a strong relationship among parents, students and the university, and provides a number of benefits and services to help our parents enjoy their student’s experience here as much as possible. Parents are vital to the university in enhancing student life and enabling students to become successful as they progress through their college experience, and provide opportunities to engage and network.

Parents frequently visit Auburn, often staying at The Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center, a beautiful establishment that is appealing due to its location directly across from the library and proximity to downtown. Popular events for parents are Fall Family Weekend, held in conjunction with a football game, and Spring Family Weekend, held in conjunction with A-Day. Our parents also enjoy the campus web cams, checking in frequently to enjoy live scenes of campus life.

In the student center, the Foy Information Desk is often a first stop. Not only does this historic telephone center answer any question anyone has 24 hours a day (recently being featured on The Today Show and in O, The Oprah Magazine), the staff is always happy to help parents and visitors along with students.
