Parent/Guest Program
There are many new challenges that accompany the transition to college: for parents and students alike. Our Parent/Guest program is designed to help your family prepare for the changes that come with this exciting milestone.
This runs parallel to the student program. It is a great opportunity for family members to meet important campus contacts, and have questions answered about UW-Parkside.
The information provided during Ranger Orientation, Advising, and Registration (ROAR) is critical to success at UW-Parkside; therefore, student participation is not only essential but required. Parent Orientation is optional, but we hope that you will take time to familiarize yourself with our campus by attending the parent session.
Family members will do the following at ROAR:
- Meet with university staff to learn about expectations and services.
- Learn more about our system of academic advising.
- Talk about the university/parent relationship and what information we can or cannot share
- Talk about how they can support their sons and daughters while they attend UW-Parkside
- Learn more about the Family Connection
- Meet other parents and family members of new students
- Take a tour of campus or check out the residence halls (Optional)
There is a $20 fee for each parent/guest, which covers the cost of materials and lunch. All fees are added to a student's tuition/fees statement. No costs are paid at ROAR.
