The Office of New Student & Family Programs is dedicated to providing a seamless transition into the campus community for new students and their families through programs, resources and outreach.
Orientation, Weekend of Welcome and the First Year Experience offer new students opportunities to effectively integrate academic, personal, social, cultural and spiritual development into their educational goals and practices.
New Student & Family Programs promotes and values family involvement with the College. Through the New Student Orientation, the Parent & Family electronic newsletter, and Parent & Family Weekend, parents and families have the opportunity to connect with College administrators and other Gael families.

New Student & Family Programs at Saint Mary's College of California exists to provide programs and services to facilitate the successful transition of first year students, transfer students, and their families into our community. In keeping with the mission of the College, New Student & Family Programs collaborates with campus departments and local agencies to provide new students and their families with adequate information necessary for decision-making.
New Student & Family Programs recognize the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students and strive to address this diversity in our programs and services. We believe that providing opportunities for interactions with Christian Brothers, Faculty, Staff, and student aids the transition into our campus community. In addition, it allows our new students and their families to learn from one another's experiences and knowledge.
All New Student and Family Programs staff respects the confidentiality of our students and their families and complies with all federal, state, local, and institutional policies.
