Parents and Families

Parents and student during Parent and Family weekend

Our residents are important to us, and so is our partnership with their families. We are committed to helping you navigate and participate in your student’s residential Husky Experience.

Parent Notification and Student Privacy

Once a student turns 18, or attends school beyond secondary school, the rights of access to the student’s records transfer to the student. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) before you apply for housing.

Ways to Support Your Student

Housing and Dining Payments

Students have the option to authorize their parents or another third party to pay their housing bills. Housing and dining payments are separate from tuition payments. More information can be found in our Undergraduate Housing Application Guide and Graduate Housing Application Guide.
