How Parents Can Help
- Encourage your student to establish strong relationships with advisors and faculty
- Maintain open communication about grades and academic progress. Many instructors send "Mid-term Reports (late
October and late March)
- Support your student's efforts to be academically successful
- Celebrate your student's victories, and encourage him or her to seek out help when difficulties arise
- Encourage your student to get involved in student organizations. This provides another connection to the University
and career-related skills
Although it may seem helpful, please refrain from selecting a major for your
student. Instead, help your student focus on his or her own abilities and interests and the career doors they open.
