The transition to college can feel overwhelming at times — as a student and as a parent. Our parent and family programs help ease the process by providing resources, student stories, opportunities for involvement and a parent support network.

From the day your student is accepted, we help support the transition of students and families into and throughout their time at W&M. Visit Family Engagement Programs and learn more about:

• Student Transition Engagement Programs (STEP) - Including the First-Year Experience, New Student Orientation, Find Your Experience and Form Your Experience programs that ensure students find the resources they need each year on their path to graduation.
• Student Success - Exploring programs including the Center for Inclusive Excellence, the TutorZone, Student Accessibility Services and other academic enrichment and student care programs can help your child flourish here.
• W&M News & Upcoming Events - Finding opportunities to engage with life on campus is one of the most effective ways to connect with your student and their experience at the university.
