Parent Communications

The University endeavors to keep parents informed about what's happening on campus. All parents of incoming freshmen and transfer students receive the University Parent newsletter, published June, September, January, and March. Past issues can be found in the newsletter archive.

Parents may also sign up for e-mail updates to receive periodic special announcements. E-mail messages can also be read online, see below.

Occasionally, other communications are sent to the University community. When those communications may be of interest to parents, they are posted on this Web site. Also, see University communications for news about the U.
