What to Expect (Parents)

Parents, you are most welcome and encouraged to attend ROAD with your student. Here's information for parents from our Student Life staff, and here's what you can expect from the day:

• Learn what role you play in helping your student get off to a good start.
• Learn about purchasing the appropriate technology for your student, and how Luther internet access works. Parental rights to data and access to financial aid information are also covered.
• Get your questions answered regarding financial aid, work study, payment plans, and more.
• Meet fellow parents!

We have several cafes on campus, so we've got your coffee breaks covered. Click here to learn more about student resources before your child's ROAD date, compliments of the Student Life Office.
