UNC Charlotte Family Fall Festival The Office of Parent and Family Programs

Sending your student off to college can be a tough adjustment for both you and your college student. As a parent, becoming a great support system for the student is a way to let them know that you’re there for them and at any moment they can call you. Students need you to support their growth, development, and independence and to be a stable force in their ever-changing world.

Growth and Development –Nothing like the movies. The college experience can affect changes in social, vocational, and personal behavior and choices. It’s natural, inevitable, and it can be inspiring. Often

though, it’s a pain in the neck. You can’t stop change, you may never understand it, but it is within your power (and to you and your student’s advantage) to accept it. College can be full of indecision, insecurities, disappointments, and most of all, mistakes. It’s also a time full of discovery, inspiration, fun, and exciting people. It may take a while for students to realize that their Hollywood-created images of what college is all about are wrong. Hollywood doesn’t show that college is about being scared, confused, overwhelmed, and making mistakes. Students may worry that they are not ‘normal’ because what they’re feeling is in contrast to what they’ve been led to believe while growing up. Parents can help by understanding that the highs and lows of college life are a critical part of your son or daughter’s development and by providing the support and encouragement to help him or her understand this as well.

Family Events

Parenting from a Distance

is excited to announce the Fall Family Festival will be held Nov. 15, 2014. The one-day event will give parents and family another opportunity to enjoy campus with their student this fall. And because the demand for football tickets was so great during Family Weekend, parents and family members will have another opportunity to purchase tickets for the Charlotte 49ers home game against Wesley College. Online registration will begin early fall, but tickets will be limited.

Spring EventThe Office of Parent and Family Services plans to host its very first Sibling Day in 2015. This event will be catered to both students and their siblings to expose them to the Charlotte 49er culture. More details and how you can register to follow.



IndependenceBy now you and your student have reached the stage where conversations about independence are happening more often. By now your student has declared, maybe more than once, “You can’t tell me what to do; I’m not a little kid anymore.” This is true; you can’t tell your college student what to do anymore. It is now time for them to take that next step in their life toward adulthood. A parent hasn’t lost all of their power and concern just because their student is becoming more independent. While you cannot make your student behave exactly as you would want them to, parents can share their values and beliefs with their students on these issues. Studies show that parents can positively influence their child’s behavior regarding alcohol and other drug use and sexual decision making even after their child leaves for college. Provide your student with the facts on these issues, and empower them to distinguish between healthy and harmful decisions when it comes to their behavior, health, and safety decisions.

Stable Force As your student takes on adult responsibilities, your role will change, but your student still needs you. On occasion, they even need your advice — but they may or may not ask for it. Most first-year college students desire the security of knowing that someone at home is still interested in them. Make it a priority to have a conversation with your student but don’t pry for information. Ask open-ended questions so that your student can give more than just a yes or no answer, but has the chance to elaborate, and let them reveal what they want to reveal. He or she is experiencing new viewpoints and perspectives that may challenge prior belief systems. Allow your student to explore ideas without being judgmental. Understand that changes in viewpoints, behavior, dress, eating and sleeping habits, and relationships with parents are all to be expected during the

college years. However, if you suspect that some of these changes may be signs of bigger problems (alcohol or drug abuse, academic problems, etc. ...), refer your student to the Counseling Center. Trust your instincts. Your student may need you to refer him or her to the appropriate resources for help.

Trust Your StudentCollege is also a time for students to discover who they are. Finding oneself is a difficult enough process without feeling that the people whose opinions you respect most are second-guessing you. Give your students the chance to avoid some mistakes as well as the opportunity to learn from them.

A Comprehensive guide to everything you and your student need to know about UNC Charlotte.

Academic Advising

Urge your student to contact their advisor if they receive an unsatisfactory grade or they are experiencing difficulties in a course.
