Axe ’Em, Jacks!
Parent and Family Member Information
Each student may bring one guest to their AXEcepted Day Orientation. Parent and Family Member Orientation takes place in tandem with AXEcepted Days. During this one day program, we want to be sure all your questions are answered. Topics to be discussed include:
- coaching your student to success
- college financial preparation
- campus safety
- getting involved at SFA
- and many more!
Cost: $50
Registering for AXEcepted Day
When your student registers for AXEcepted Day, they will be given the opportunity to complete your registration as well. This helps ensure a smooth registration process for the proper session.
Registering at a later date?
Visit the "Orientation" tab in your student’s mySFA account to check the availability for your student's session and reserve your spot. Session registration will close one week prior to the session or once the session reaches capacity, whichever occurs first.

Visit your Lumberjack!
While we continue to encourage safety, we also want to encourage you to pay your Lumberjack a visit! And with so many local opportunities for fun, it may be difficult to fit into just one trip, including:
- attending an SFA sporting event
- painting your own pottery
- strolling through our downtown shops
- visiting the Saturday morning Nacogdoches Farmers Market
- relaxing at one of our two nearby lakes
- and so much more.
We've partnered with the City of Nacogdoches to remind you that EVERY day can be Family Day. As an extension of the normal Family Day deals we’ve offered in the past, owners of local shops, restaurants and lodging have graciously agreed to offer special discounts to our Lumberjack families throughout the academic year. Visit visitnacogdoches.org/sfa-family for information on unique local discounts and spots around town.
