From the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students

Welcome Mountie Parent! 

During the time that your student attends Mount Aloysius College, the College's goal, like yours, will be to promote your student's growth and success. It is our hope that every student flourishes at Mount Aloysius College and leaves us, at graduation, as an educated, competent, and compassionate adult. We look forward to this partnership with parents.

College is often a dynamic time in your relationship with your student. It is a time when both of you are letting go of traditional and comfortable roles and looking forward to the future. Your role as a parent in the life of your college student, while changing, is as significant as ever. We have compiled this parent handbook to help you become aware of the resources available on campus as your student makes this journey.

This handbook provides brief overviews of many of the services and programs available, along with contact information. We encourage you to refer your student to them. They are young adults entering an independent living environment in which they will be responsible for their own structure and lifestyle, and it may be particularly challenging for them in their newly acquired status of adulthood, to seek out the appropriate resources on their own. Of course, if you have any questions, you may also contact these offices.

It is our desire that this handbook provides you with helpful information to aid in your Mount Aloysius College student's intellectual and social growth over the next few years.
