About the Parent Handbook

College is often a dynamic time in your relationship with your son or daughter. It's a time when both of you are letting go of traditional and comfortable roles and looking forward to the future. Your role as a parent in the life of your college student is as significant as ever. We have compiled this parent handbook to help you become aware of the resources available on campus as your son or daughter makes this journey. We have provided brief overviews of many of the services and programs available and have included contact information for the people directly responsible for them. We encourage you to call upon these individuals if you have questions or concerns, and to refer your son or daughter to them as well. They are young adults entering an independent living environment in which they will be responsible for their own structure and lifestyle, and it may be particularly challenging for them in "their newly acquired status of adulthood" to seek out the appropriate resources on their own. It is our desire that this handbook provides you with an informative reference to aid in your Nazareth student's intellectual and social growth over the next few years. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
