A note for parents — partners in your students’ success

All Crean College advisors can work with your student to help create the best possible academic experience based on their interests and goals. 

We hope you will also support your student’s success by helping ensure they graduate on time and get the most out of their college experience. However, please keep in mind:

• It is important that students learn and feel comfortable to self-advocate. If they have questions or concerns, please encourage them to reach out themselves for assistance. 
• Additionally, when students enter college, their academic information is protected under The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This prevents staff and faculty from discussing anything specific about your student unless they are present and give us explicit permission to do so.
