Information for Parents & Support People

We know orientation is an exciting milestone, not just for students, but for their families and support people as well! While many parts of orientation are designed for students to complete independently, your encouragement and support play an important role.

Before Orientation

Please encourage your student to:

• Know their login information for Triton Pass (Their Iowa Central Student Portal)
• Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as there will be walking involved.
• Bring any requested documents if they have not already been submitted (High School / College Transcripts, AP Test Scores, Placement Test Scores for Math (ALEKS) and/or English (Accuplacer) if requested).
• Fill out their housing application and pay the $150 application fee.

Thank you for partnering with us as your student begins their journey at Iowa Central. We look forward to welcoming your family to campus!
