GROWL: Family Orientation
Your student will take part in a GROWL session where they will learn about life at UPIKE and meet with a student success advisor to confirm their class schedule. While they are taking care of the business of being a student, you are invited to take part in a separate session designed with families in mind. You’ll have the opportunity to hear what to expect during your student’s transition to college, talk with student financial services staff and learn invaluable resources you may lean on during your student’s collegiate experience. Students and families register for GROWL together. Click HERE to get information on how to schedule your GROWL day.
A guide to your student’s new language
It won’t be long before your student starts to throw around campus lingo you may have never heard before. Here is your guide to understanding the language and lingo you or your student may hear around campus.
Encourage your student to stop by the Center for Student Success or Office of Student Affairs. Those offices are full of people who want to help students and connect them to campus. Sometimes, it’s a matter of having a favorite meal – a taste of home – that gets students back on track. Sometimes, as we get to know students and learn their interests, we are able to connect them with programs or people on and off campus. Sometimes, it just helps to get them out of their residence hall room and involved in campus activities.
