For Parents

As a parent, you play a vital role in insuring your child has a successful, enriching, positive, and safe experience abroad. 

Our website contains a wealth of resources for your student, including information on financial aid, advising, academic policies relating to study abroad, health and safety tips, pre-departure preparation, and even a search function that aids your child in finding the most appropriate study abroad program to meet their needs.  We also offer support to students upon their return to College Park -- check out the Alumni section of the site to learn more. 

Encourage your child to utilize our office's resources -- we are here to help!  

Feel free to contact us with questions or concerns.
