ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University offers several programs to help students achieve their full academic potential whether they need extra help or extra challenges.
You can help your student make the transition to college life by striking the right balance between providing support and fostering independence.
Discuss both financial plans and academic expectations. Encourage your student to make responsible decisions about alcohol and other lifestyle choices.
You can help by recognizing that your student is an adult who still needs a coach but not a rescuer. Listen and offer encouragement while urging your student to take advantage of resources on campus and to solve his or her own problems.
