Families and Supporters
Welcome
To the Bronco Family
Family members and supporters play a critical role in student success at Cal Poly Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, and we want to make sure you have the information you need to support your student. The Bronco Family Orientation Experience provides a comprehensive introduction to CPP resources, programs and support services.
Bronco Family Orientation
Family members and supporters of newly admitted students are invited to participate in a Bronco Family Orientation on the same day as their student's Orientation Day. The Bronco Family Orientation is a separate program from the student orientation. Those wanting to participate can be registered when the student submits their orientation registration. The $85 guest fee covers your parking, light breakfast, lunch, commemorative swag, and programming.
