For Parents and Families
The College of William and Mary values the support and involvement of families as we strive to foster students' academic and personal development. Through publications and events, like Family Weekend, we aim to keep you informed and engaged in the life of the College. Visit the Parents & Families page for additional links and information about campus life and the wide variety of services available to you and your student. New parents are invited to join the Class of 2015 Parent/Family "To-Know" List to receive emails related to important dates & deadlines, orientation, and other new-student transition issues.
Families often ask us about the schedule of exams and school breaks. These and other key dates are included on the academic calendar, updated annually by the Registrar's Office.
