Family Calendar and Tips of the Month

Tips and Conversation Starters: July

Tips of the Month

• Talk to your student. Whether your student is in their first-year, last year, or somewhere in between, summer is a good time to talk about their plans for the coming academic year. What are their goals and who can help your student achieve them once they’re back on campus?
• Encourage your student to check their UC San Diego email. Students receive important emails about the coming academic year over the summer, many of which require action on the part of your student. 
• Summer Session Classes: If your student is taking or wants to take a summer class, there are important dates to follow and resources to learn. 
• New families: Attend the Parent & Family Orientation program hosted by your student’s college. 
• Save the dates! Join us for Homecoming + Family Weekend October 17 - 18!
