Parent Handbook: The First-Year Center

Parent Handbook

The First-Year Center serves as a support and resource for all new students and their parents. We provide information concerning first-year programs and services, lend an "ear" to parents and students when needed, and answer any questions about the College. We also work with the College community on developing new programs and services that promote student success and retention. The Student Retention Fund and the Student Emergency Fund are administered through this office, as are all student withdrawal/leave of absence interviews and paperwork.

As a parent, you play an essential role in your student's adjustment to college life and we invite you to contact us about any concerns that may come up during this transitional year. We also hope that you will encourage your son or daughter to use this office as a resource as well. We look forward to assisting you AND learning from you!
