When Your Student is a 'Roo, There's a Place for You
Austin College is a place where students can expect four years of discovery and learning with the end goal of a meaningful career or post-graduate education. In that same time, parents and families come to appreciate the personalized care their students receive. As a small, four-year liberal arts school, Austin College provides a faculty adviser, academic assistance when needed, many diverse and inclusive student organizations, health and mental health services, and a comfortable residence life.
Events for Parents
We invite you to the virtual Parent Orientation Series where you will learn important information about what to expect as your student navigates the first semester.
Important Information for Parents of New Students
During the fall term of the freshman year at Austin College, every freshman takes First-Year Seminar in a small, special-topic course taught by the students' mentor. Each class is designed to provide guidance in navigating the college experience and help students develop communication and inquiry skills to prepare them for success in the rest of their college career.
New Student Information is provided by the Office of Admission with a complete list of important documents and links of interest for incoming freshmen and their parents.
If you have questions that are not answered here or elsewhere on the Austin College website, please call Student Affairs at 903.813.2836 or send an email to Kristi Lucchese.
