Calendar

campus resources

Campus websites can be a rich source of information that can help you assist your student with finding information.  Remember, it is not always the best strategy to contact the "highest" official connected to your concern.  Most times, the "highest" official will need to gather information from the offices that have the details such as residence life or student accounts.  Most often is more effective to contact the office where the concern is with specifics about the concern.  Students should make the first contact in person once they identify the appropriate office through the website or a series of phone calls.
