Families@Oneonta Portal

The Families@Oneonta Portal is your one-stop resource for staying connected and informed about your student's college experience. We encourage you to visit the portal often to access helpful updates, campus news, and connect with other families.

Here are some of the exciting features you'll find:

  • Communities: Join communities that align with you and your student's journey! Whether you're a First-Year Family, a Family of AOP, or navigating Financial Aid & Scholarships, there's a community for you. Each community includes relevant articles and posts to keep you up-to-date on important happenings.
  • Newsletter: Our curated newsletters pull together key information from the communities you’ve joined. You can choose how often you’d like to receive them—weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly—directly to your inbox.
  • Announcements: Receive timely updates about important deadlines, upcoming events, and other campus programs directly from the portal admin in your inbox. Never miss a thing!

Families of new students will receive an invitation to join the portal in late August.
