You may be wondering how, when, and if you should be involved in your student's life during their time at Notre Dame, and of course the answer is yes! The College desires your involvement to help your student maintain a high level of support and confidence. However, we also aim to allow your student to develop academically, professionally, and socially during this time and you may need to let them make their own decisions. We have provided you with articles and recommended reading pertaining to college parent involvement in the hopes that you understand your student's need to explore their academic, professional, and social options.
