Welcome ZagFam!
We are very excited to welcome you to the community! As you've been preparing to move your Zag onto campus we have been planning an orientation program that will provide you with a wealth of knowledge, a sense of calm, and confidence that your student is indeed at their home away from home.
You will receive a detailed printed schedule at check-in.

PLEASE NOTE: During Parent and Family Orientation your Zag will be attending New Student Welcome Weekend on a separate schedule from yours. Here is a side-by-side view of the two schedules so you can plan your time with your Zag accordingly:
Flights and Hotel Reservations:
If you plan to book a hotel, you should start as soon as your Zag has been formally accepted! Hotels in town, especially those close to campus, fill early. For information about hotels, see our Accommodations Page. For directions on how to get to campus, see our Transportation and Directions Page. Unfortunately, Gonzaga does not provide a shuttle service.
