Parent and Family Orientation

Sending your child to college is an exciting time of challenge and change. Before your student starts classes we want to invite you and your family to Parent and Family Orientation on September 1 and 2. The program will feature sessions to connect you to staff, resources and traditions.

Roommate Reminders

Getting to know your roommate is the first step in your college experience. We strongly encourage your student to get in contact with their roommate before they arrive on campus. We know that this can be a bit awkward so to help your student to get to know their roommate; we have provided a few conversation starters.

Campus Safety

The Campus Safety department is dedicated to serving the PLU community as a resource to provide a safe and secure environment and a conduit to reach outside assistance from the fire department and local law enforcement. Campus Safety provides many services to students, staff and visitors such as emergency response, campus escorts, shuttle services and blue light emergency phones.

Bookstore

If your student hasn’t already purchased textbooks, now is the time. Garfield Book Company, the official PLU bookstore, is the most convenient resource for purchasing your textbooks. Garfield Book Company’s excellent service makes getting your student’s textbooks quick, easy and affordable.

Student Voice - Caitlyn Jackson '12

Caitlyn Jackson ’12 remembers what it was like at the beginning of her PLU experience. She was nervously excited and anxious to start “the rest of her entire life.” She would have never predicted the many ways PLU would shape her and continue to shape the person she is today.
