Welcome to the Golden Panther Family!
Welcome to the Golden Panther Family! We are excited to have you and your student become a part of our community. We look forward to partnering with you in the upcoming years.
FIU is committed to keeping the parents and families of our students informed and involved. I hope that this guide will provide information that will be helpful to you and your student as members of the Golden Panther family.
In addition to a vast array of educational resources and support services for students, Florida International University has a comprehensive parent program with a variety of resources and services focused on students’ families.
