Welcome, Maverick Families!
The Office of Parent & Family Services is thrilled to welcome you to the University of Texas at Arlington! Since your student has chosen to earn a degree from UTA, there is no limit to what the future holds.
Whether we’ve already met at New Maverick Orientation or if we have not had a chance to meet yet, we hope you know the Office of Parent & Family Services is here for you throughout your student’s journey at UTA. Although your student must lead their own path in pursuit of a degree, we can work together to support your student while allowing them to gain independence and develop their own identity.
If you would like to be even more involved in your student’s UTA experience, we invite you to become a member of the Maverick Parent & Family Association. Not only would you be joining a network of over 4,000 members who are also committed to their student’s success, your student and the rest of your family will get to enjoy our exclusive perks and benefits.
We hope you find the information on our website helpful and that you continue to utilize the Office of Parent & Family Services throughout your student's college journey. In addition to saving our website for future reference, you can continue to stay up to date on all things UTA by creating a profile on the Maverick Family Connection Portal and following us on Facebook and Instagram.
Last but certainly not least, we encourage you to stay connected by attending our events. We host family-centered events throughout the year, virtually and in-person, to give the whole family an opportunity to be part of the Maverick experience. You can stay up to to date on our events by visiting our website, social media pages, and the Maverick Family Connection Portal.
