Parent's guide
The transition to University is a time of mixed-emotion, for both you and your son/daughter. You may be very excited for their independence and this new step in their life, but at the same time nervous about sending them out on their own. We want to help you feel more relaxed and confident that your son/daughter will be safe happy and healthy living in residence.
We have provided some resources to help you understand how you can help, and when to take a step back and allow your son/daughter make decisions that are right for them.

Let’s face it, University is not only a big deal for your son/daughter, but for you as well. We have some tips to help ensure that this transition runs smoothly.
