Welcome
The Saint Leo Parent and Family Association is a group of dedicated parent and family members who significantly assist the University as we strive to provide excellence in the undergraduate experience.
The Association represents the needs of undergraduate students and families and supports development of new programs and services that bolster the partnership between family members and the university by focusing efforts towards networking and fundraising on behalf of Saint Leo.

Parent and Family Fund
Saint Leo regards parent and family support as a crucial piece in delivering an environment that nurtures success and focuses on the total student experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Saint Leo, we consider family members of new first-year students and transfer students as critical partners in the success of our students. We encourage all families of new students to attend New-Student Orientation.
New Student Orientation (NSO) includes a variety of programs and events that will set students on the path toward academic and personal success at Saint Leo University. This multi-day experience acquaints students with our campus, support services, policies, staff and faculty, and is the beginning of their friendships with other new and returning students.
Through programs offered, students and their families will be informed about the opportunities and responsibilities in and outside of the classroom. By exposing students to the key services and opportunities available to them, we hope to empower students to make well-informed decisions. NSO is mandatory for all first-year and transfer students attending University Campus.
As a family member, you will use this time to attend sessions on the curriculum, academic advising, housing, food services, finances, health services, and career services. You can also meet fellow family members at social events.
