Welcome to the Concordia Family

The Concordia Experience has begun for you and your student, and we are so glad you’re here! We know you've worked hard to support your student becoming an Eagle. We believe that parent and family involvement and support are critical factors that lead to student success and degree completion at Concordia University Irvine.

There are many ways for you to stay connected, be involved, and help your student navigate college life. We're here to walk alongside you, all in support of your student. Whatever your needs or interests are, we hope you find what you're looking for, but if you don't please reach out and ask!
