Parents of Newly Admitted Students

Congratulations on your student’s admission to Michigan Ross!

Our goal is to ensure that students feel prepared and have a smooth transition to Ross and U-M. We’re here to support you every step of the way, starting with orientation for students, parents, and families. Due to COVID-19, this year all orientation programming will be conducted virtually through our new Wolverine Online Orientation

The Wolverine Online Orientation provides students and their families an opportunity to learn more about their specific school or college within U-M. Orientation includes completion of the Wolverine Transition Course, and an Academic Advising Date for students to meet one-on-one with their advisors. Ross students admitted for the fall term should look for information from U-M about the Wolverine Online Orientation in mid-May.

We also encourage you to check out the U-M Parents & Families website for information about first-year expectations by month, the student experience, and other parent and family resources.

Below you can find direct links to key information you’ll need, including information about financial aid and tuition, housing, health and safety, and other programs and resources managed by U-M.
