THE ANCHOR GUIDE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
WELCOME TO YOUR
#RollinsLife
Welcome to your #RollinsLife! On behalf of my colleagues and the entire Rollins community, we are so excited to begin this journey of selfdiscovery, hope, and lifelong learning with your student and your family. The Rollins community is a special place, and we are honored to support you and your student. We prepared this guide for two reasons. First, we deeply believe that parents and families are meaningful partners in the success of our students. We cherish our relationship with you, and we want you to have any information that might assist you in supporting your student. While this guide can never capture all of the offerings of the College, we hope that it offers enough information so you know who to contact if you or your student needs support. Second, we want you to have the tools to have intentional conversations with your student. We want this guide to serve as a resource to you, so that you can ask those deeper questions and continue the thoughtful conversations about their future that you all probably began as a family before college started. The guide is organized by month, so that you can get a general sense of what students are experiencing during the academic year. Our hope is for this guide to serve as an anchor that supports you and your family during this significant transition in your student’s life. Rollins is a residential liberal arts college ON PURPOSE. Our entire curriculum, community, and culture is designed intentionally for students to have access to opportunities that
prepare them for life beyond college. Our committed faculty and staff want your students to be excited about learning. Current research tells us that when students form meaningful mentorship relationships with their faculty members, when they get involved in activities on campus, and when they apply their learning through internship experiences, that they are more likely to thrive in life beyond graduation. Rollins educates students for global citizenship and responsible leadership, empowering graduates to pursue meaningful lives and productive careers. We want your student to be prepared to live, serve, and lead in our world with courage and joy. With your partnership, we hope to be able to be thoughtful stewards of your student’s hopes and dreams. Again, a warm welcome to #RollinsLife. We know you, your student, and your family will #FindYourAnchor here!
Fiat Lux,
Vice President for Student Affairs
College Preparation Be prepared for changes. College is a time for transition, stirring up feelings of both excitement and anxiety of students and families alike. R Anchor Conversation
Talk to your student about college life and encourage your student to review the Rollins website for important information, academic programs, campus events, and helpful resources.
Academic Curriculum The liberal arts are the heart of a Rollins education. A liberal arts education helps students develop broad knowledge from a variety of academic courses from across disciplines. The Rollins curriculum challenges students to learn to think critically, problem-solve, and to develop the skills needed to apply knowledge from across disciplines. In preparation for the upcoming semester, summer is a good time for students to review their fall course schedule and the upcoming academic calendar. The Office of the Registrar’s website (rollins.edu/registrar) is full of helpful tips and information. The registrar’s office is responsible for a range of services that includes class scheduling, registration, transcript requests, degree/enrollment verifications, academic record and transcript maintenance, and monitoring degree requirements. Along with emails from their faculty advisors, students should make it a good habit to check their Rollins email account for official messages and information from the registrar’s office. R Anchor Conversation
Student success is a team effort. Take some time to review with your student the resources available on the Rollins website to support your student’s success. Additionally, Rollins has a dedicated web page for parents and families (rollins.edu/parents-families) for easy navigation to campus resources, services, and volunteer information. There is also a parent portal where your student can give you access to things like: monthly and historical billing statements, direct deposit updates, changes for mailing/email addresses, academic information and financial aid messages.
Pre-Orientation Program for Underrepresented Students EMBARK is a program to help students of underrepresented populations successfully acclimate and thrive at Rollins. EMBARK is open to all students, with a specific focus on underrepresented populations, including but not limited to students of color; all religious backgrounds; those having a disability; and those identifying as LGBTQ+. This program begins with a pre-orientation program and continues throughout a student’s time at Rollins as a cohort-based leadership opportunity. Contact the Center for Inclusion and Campus Involvement at cici@rollins.edu for more information about this program.
Financial Plan Make a financial plan with your student and develop a budget. Be clear as to who pays for what (e.g., books, supplies, food, social life, and incidentals). R Anchor Conversation
Review the Office of Financial Aid website (rollins.edu/financial-aid) for deadlines, or frequently asked questions, consumer information and financial aid forms.
Student Employment On-campus jobs are posted beginning in mid-July. Students will receive notifications about on-campus, part-time job postings via their Rollins email address from Career & Life Planning. If your student plans to work on or off campus, make sure they bring the ID documents listed to complete required federal employment paperwork at rollins.edu/i9
FERPA
Discuss the Family Education Rights to Privacy Act (FERPA). For parents or other individuals to have access to education information, a student must complete the FERPA release that can be found in FoxLink through the Billing/Financial Aid tab.
Family Communication R Anchor Conversation
Communication is important. Set up ways to communicate and keep in touch (by text, phone calls, or email). This is a good time to be clear about your communication expectations as a family. Talk to your student about plans for the academic year, and about being fully registered for classes for the fall semester. Add/drop period for fall begins the first week of classes.
Wellness and Thriving Personal well-being and safety of your student should be an important discussion throughout the year. R Anchor Conversation
Making good choices, engaging in healthy relationships, and being aware that impaired judgment from intoxication can place one at much greater risk for injury or harm are all important conversations to have with your student. Students can reach out to the Wellness Center if at any point stress, depression, life balance, or relationship or transition issues might get the best of them. The Wellness Center provides the following resources: flu vaccinations, general health checks, some prescriptions, sexual health and STI screenings, as well as counseling services. If your student feels they must be absent from class outside of their individual class attendance requirements, it is the student’s responsibility to talk with their faculty member to determine whether the absence is to be considered “excused” or “unexcused” as defined by the class attendance policy. Students can work with the Dean of Students/Student & Family Care office to facilitate communication with faculty when they must be absent from campus for illness, hospitalization, family emergencies, or similar contingencies. Students are responsible for all work missed from classes.
Hurricane Preparedness Rollins requires all on-campus students, and highly recommend those students residing off-campus, to develop and share with the College their own “Personal Hurricane Plan.� This will mean in the event of a hurricane and the College closes, students must leave campus to travel home or elsewhere. If students decide to stay locally and need shelter, the College will organize transportation to a local American Red Cross-approved emergency shelter. Rollins is fortunate to be located in Orange County, which has a robust American Red Cross presence. During Hurricane Irma, the County opened 21 American Red Cross shelters across the county, including facilities for those with special/medical needs and pet-friendly shelters. We have asked that all students talk to their families and file their plan prior to the start of the academic year through FoxLink/Student Life. The College shares hurricane news and information via the Rollins alert system, email and website communication.
Academic Accommodations Rollins prioritizes equal access to the classroom and on campus experiences for students with disabilities. If your student has received accommodations in the past or would like to talk to Accessibility Services to determine if they are qualified to receive accommodations, encourage them to complete the Accommodation Request Form that can be found on the Student Life tab in FoxLink.
#FindYourAnchor
Two qualities that are predictors of well-being are gratitude and love of learning. As your student transitions into college, think about ways that you and your student have time to share gratitude and make time to engage in conversation about the new experiences that are inspiring them in college.
Student Life Talk to your student about college life and encourage them to review the Rollins website for important information, academic programs, campus events and helpful resources. R Anchor Conversation
Suggest becoming involved in student clubs and organizations, service and leadership opportunities, or cultural, religious or identity programs. Encourage your student to reach out to a peer mentor, resident assistant, faculty or staff member to help get connected with student life opportunities. Students can also visit getinvolved.rollins.edu to learn more about active student organizations on campus and ways they can get engaged.
Student Success Check with your student about classes. Are they having difficulty or have they received an academic warning in any of their classes? This month is the best time for students to be thinking about their goals, checking in with professors (and faculty advisors), and focusing on study and timemanagement skills.
Religious Life, Knowles Chapel Knowles Chapel is the religious and spiritual hub on campus. The Dean of Religious Life assists students with exploring their spiritual, religious, and/or belief identities. There are opportunities to do this throughout the year through speakers, chapel-affiliated student groups, holiday observances, programming, and community service. Rollins offers weekly services in the following traditions: Buddhist, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Protestant. Please check the chapel website, and Knowing Knowles Facebook page for more information. Student & Family Care
Students are more likely to thrive when they feel that they have someone who cares about them and their success. We have a team to support your student during the transition periods in college. Our student and family care team helps with the information and referrals to campus resources. Contact them at 407-646-2345 or care@rollins.edu.
Midterms Midterms can cause some students to experience self-doubt, worry, and anxiety, as they handle personal and academic expectations. R Anchor Conversation
Discuss the challenges of their courses, academic expectations, and plans to manage their stress in a healthy way. Remind them about support services offered on campus, such as the Tutoring & Writing Center for academic help, the Wellness Center, or opportunities to connect with a faculty advisor or the Student & Family Care staff for assistance.
Healthy Eating and Rest R Anchor Conversation
As part of your check-ins, ask your student if they are eating well and resting regularly. These are two important areas that help manage stress.
Fall Break Students deserve well-earned time off in October. Some students choose to leave campus to go home or on an Immersion, while others choose to stay on campus.
Financial Aid Prep for Upcoming Year Beginning October 1 of each year, students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the following academic year. While it may seem early, students receiving financial aid can get a head start on their financial planning for the following year and ensure receipt of maximum financial aid consideration.
R-Compass Fair & Academic Advising The R-Compass Fair provides an opportunity to explore information on majors, minors, general education offerings, and services designed to integrate academics into career and life planning. Encourage your student to attend! R Anchor Conversation
Talk to your student about exploring a major, planning their academics, and finding what drives them. Academic planning for both winter intersession* and spring semester courses begins the end of October/early November and provides students the opportunity to meet with their faculty advisor to create and update their academic plans. Course registration for winter intersession and the spring semester takes place in November. *Winter intersession is a weeklong semester held in early January that allows students to participate in a single course or Immersion experience. Students can earn additional course credit and explore other disciplines by participating in any intersession course regardless of their major.
Faculty Advising
At Rollins, we are fortunate to have a faculty advising system. Students are more likely to thrive when they have a faculty member who encourages them academically and gets them excited about learning.
Family Weekend Family Weekend provides opportunities to spend time relaxing with your student, for you to visit faculty members, become better acquainted with the Rollins community, and enjoy the fall weather in Central Florida.
Campus and Academic Engagement R Anchor Conversation
Talk with your student about their campus and academic interests. Are they considering an intersession course, a spring immersion, collaborative scholarship with a faculty member, enrolling in Maymester, or signing up for formal recruitment to join a fraternity or sorority in the spring? Students receive campus email notifications of program details and deadlines during the semester.
Study Abroad and International Programs Applications close in October and November for all spring and some summer programs. It’s also a perfect time to begin planning for a summer or fall semester abroad, since those deadlines are February/March. Rollins has generous funding for semester study abroad and International Programs staff are available to help students find programs that are a good fit for their academic plans and budgets. R Anchor Conversation
This is also a good time to check in with your student to discuss a potential study abroad experience and how it might enhance their personal development and their resume.
Thanksgiving Break This is a good pause before the semester ends and the exam period begins. Consider sending a care package if your student stays on campus. Classes are not held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so students or families have time to travel.
Preparation for Final Exams Students may consider Tutoring & Writing Center appointments or utilize their professors’ office hours if help is needed preparing for final exams.
Winter Break International Student & Scholar Services International students must have immigration documents reviewed and signed before winter and summer breaks if traveling outside the U.S. You can do this at the Travel Signature Party, or in the Office of International Student & Scholar Services.
Preparation for the Spring Semester January provides an opportunity to review academic strengths, assess academic progress, and plan for the spring semester ahead. The Center for Leadership & Community Engagement at Rollins offers weekend and sometimes weeklong Immersion experiences throughout the academic year where students become involved in civic and community engagement projects focused on cultural, social, political and structural issues. Immersions run throughout the fall and spring and are comprised of educational experiences, reflection and community action in Florida and beyond. Students receive emails about Immersion experiences offered each semester along with information on how to apply to participate. Add/drop period for the semester is during the first week of classes.
Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL) The Rollins FSL experience is intentionally designed to support student engagement around the Rollins mission. The experience is a fantastic way to make new friends and join a vibrant community, but it is also so much more! Rollins FSL strives to create time and space for students to develop as responsible leaders, commit to citizenship, and engage a global perspective.
The Career Exploration Journey R Anchor Conversation
Has your student connected with faculty advisors and the Center for Career & Life Planning? The College offers a multitude of resources and services to help students explore majors, careers, internships, on-campus jobs, and more.
Campus Involvement & Community Engagement Has your student become involved with any diversity and inclusion, leadership, service, student organizations or is considering a peer educator opportunity? The College offers hundreds of engagement opportunities. Students can visit getinvolved.rollins.edu to learn more about active student organizations and ways they can get engaged in with campus life.
Student Success R Anchor Conversation
Check in about their spring academic progress. Have they received an academic warning? There is still time to connect with an advisor or meet with a tutor in the Tutoring & Writing Center. If your student is interested in external competitive scholarships and fellowships, such as Fulbright, Goldwater, or Boren awards and scholarships, make sure they meet with the External & Competitive Scholarships office for information and deadlines.
Spring Break Spring Break is a needed pause in the semester, and it requires planning and responsibility to ensure students’ safety.
Fox Day Fox Day is an annual tradition established by President Hugh McKean in 1956. Each spring, on a day deemed “too pretty to have class,� the president cancels all classes, providing students with a surprise day off.
Thriving in College
Students who are engaged in deep experiences like internships, study abroad, and student organizations that give them a strong connection to their passion are more likely to thrive in college and beyond.
Midterms R Anchor Conversation
This time of semester can be a demanding time for students. Ask your student about the challenges of their courses, academic expectations, and plans to manage their stress in a healthy way. Remind them that there are academic support resources offered by their faculty advisor and the Tutoring & Writing Center.
Advising & Maymester Advising for fall courses takes place in March and provides students the opportunity to plan courses with faculty advisors and check in on their academic plans. Students can also register for Maymester courses, a fourweek period to assist students in attaining their academic goals and fulfilling graduation requirements. Maymester course costs are in addition to regular tuition. R Anchor Conversation
Now is a great time for your student to start thinking about their summer plans before the pressure of finals hits. Engage them in a conversation about what they’re planning to do over the summer, and encourage them to consider an internship or summer job in order to explore careers and build professional experience. Your student can make use of the Center for Career & Life Planning’s helpful internship and job-search appointments, as well as resume and cover letter reviews to help them get prepared. Additionally, the CLP hosts thousands of internship and job postings in Handshake.
Prepare for Housing Registration Many students find that housing registration can be both a stressful and exciting time because they choose who they will live with and where they will live. Students who currently live on campus are able to select their housing for the following academic year by participating in housing selection in late March and early April. At Rollins, housing selection order and times are calculated by the student’s GPA and credit hours completed. Being flexible during this process is key.
9 Dimensions of Wellness
Students are encouraged to connect with the many resources that support the 9 dimensions of wellness (emotional, environmental, creative, financial, intellectual, social, spiritual, physical, and occupational). Resources include the Wellness Center, student and campus organizations, faith- and identity-based groups, recreational sports, and many other campus programs. Reminding students of resources can make a positive difference!
Commencement Before you know it, it will be time for commencement. For families of graduating seniors, visit the Rollins Commencement website for important planning information about this momentous day! Graduating seniors receive emails regarding graduation requirements. Connecting with their faculty advisor, and the Office of Student Records regarding their graduation status is vital.
Prepare for Final Exams R Anchor Conversation
Remind your students about utilizing the Tutoring & Writing Center and their professors’ office hours if help is needed preparing for final exams.
Exams End and Residence Halls Close After finals, residence halls close for summer months. Students should make plans in advance for moving and for storage needs for the summer.
Our Commitment to a Healthy & Safe Campus Community Community Standards & Responsibility (CSR)
Students, like all of us, make mistakes. Through the Community Standards & Responsibility processes we hope to help students learn where they could have made different decisions and offer them strategies for making better choices should they face a given situation again. The CSR process plays an important role in a student’s education at the College — not just during their time as a member of the Rollins community, but also in life beyond Rollins. The CSR office encourages students to talk with their parents or guardians when they find themselves in a tough situation that may involve a violation of College policy. As a reminder, it’s important to know that the CSR office is obligated to follow guidelines outlined in the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) when releasing information to parents or guardians. If you have questions or concerns about your student throughout the year, please do not hesitate to contact the CSR office. While the staff may not be able to share specific information with you about your student, general information about the hearing process and suggestions for how to best support your student can be provided.
Campus Safety
Safety on our campus is a top priority. The Campus Safety office partners with community members on and off campus to provide a safe and secure environment through preventive patrol, emergency response, problem solving, programming, and activities on campus. Campus Safety strives to be a vital partner in the mission of the College by focusing on the well-being of students and supporting the campus community. Campus Safety is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with a dispatch officer always ready to take your call at 407.646.2999. Be sure to have your student register you for R-Alerts in FoxLink.
CARE guide College students encounter a great deal of stress during the course of their academic experience. While most students successfully cope with challenges that may arise, an increasing number of students find academic and social transitions difficult. The following is a guide developed to aid faculty, staff, and families in assisting students that are experiencing difficulties. It is important to note that the information in the guide may not address every situation one may encounter with a student. With that in mind, in the event you believe that a student may be in danger, contact Rollins Campus Safety at 407-646-2999 or the Winter Park Police Department at 911.
Distressed Students
A student in distress may exhibit behaviors, that suggest something is wrong, show signs of emotional distress, and indicate that assistance is needed. Q: What are some signs a student may be in distress? A student may not be disruptive to others, but may exhibit behaviors that suggest something is wrong, show signs of emotional distress, and indicate that assistance is needed.
They may also be reluctant or unable to acknowledge a need for personal help. Behaviors may include:
• Change in academic performance (such as a change in grades or sudden unaccountability and poor performance). • Excessive absences, especially if the student has previously demonstrated consistent attendance. • Unusual or markedly changed patterns of interaction (e.g., avoidance of participation, excessive anxiety, domination of discussion, dependency-excessive appointments). • Trouble managing stress successfully. • Signs of depression (lethargic mood and lack of energy). • Attention issues or rapid speech. • Marked change in personal dress and hygiene. • Expressing uncertainty about emotional stability, family issues, or relationship problems. • Appearing uncomfortable or highly emotional. • Unusual or exaggerated emotional responses or high levels of irritability. • Repeated requests for special considerations. • New or repeated behavior that pushes the limits of decorum and interferes with effective management of the immediate environment (e.g., aggressive or abrasive behavior).
Q: How should I respond to a distressed student? For students who are mildly or moderately distressed (not an immediate threat to self or others), you can choose to handle the situation in the following ways and contact the Assistant Vice President for Care/Dean of Students office at 407-646-2345. If in doubt, contact Campus Safety at 407-646-2999. • Deal directly with the behavior/ problem. • Address the situation on a personal level. • If the student does not pose a threat, discuss the situation with the student to address the inappropriate behavior. • If needed, ask the student to leave the room and report the situation to the Assistant Vice President for Care/ Dean of Students, or call Campus Safety 24/7.
Disruptive Students
A disruptive student may seem severely troubled or exhibit behaviors that signify a crisis that necessitates emergency care. Q: What are warning signs of disruptive student behavior? Disruptive students exhibit behaviors that signify a crisis and that necessitate emergency care. Behaviors may include: • Highly disruptive behaviors (e.g., hostility, aggression, violence, etc.). • Inability to communicate clearly (garbled, slurred speech; unconnected, disjointed thoughts). • Stalking or obsessive behaviors. • Threats to harm self and/or others. • Loss of contact with reality (seeing or hearing things that others cannot see or hear; beliefs or actions that
are greatly at odds with reality or probability). • Inappropriate communication (including threatening letters, email messages, social media, harassment). • Suicidal thoughts (including referring to suicide as a current option in a written assignment).
Q: How should I respond to a disruptive student? Remain calm and call for help if necessary. • Find someone to stay with the student while calls to appropriate resources are made. • Remember that it is NOT your responsibility to provide the professional help needed for a severely troubled/disruptive student. You only need to make the necessary call and request assistance. • When a student expresses a direct threat to themselves or others, or acts in bizarre, highly irrational or disruptive way, call CAMPUS SAFETY at 407-646-2999 or 911.
Q: How should I respond when a student is disrupting my class? Faculty members have broad authority to manage their classrooms and establish reasonable guidelines for classroom discussions that ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate in an orderly manner. • If you believe a student’s behavior is inappropriate, consider a general word or caution rather than singling out or embarrassing a student. • If the behavior is irritating but not disruptive, speak to the student after class. • If a student’s behavior reaches the point that it interferes with your ability to teach or other students’ ability to benefit from the class, the student should be asked to leave the room
for the remainder of the class period. The student should be provided with a reason for this action and an opportunity to discuss the matter with the faculty member as soon as practical. • In such situations, contact the Assistant Vice President for Care/ Dean of Students.
Title IX
Rollins is committed to creating and maintaining a safe, healthy, and respectful environment in which our community can work together in an atmosphere free from discrimination. Sexual harassment, which includes sexual violence, is a form of sexbased discrimination. Any member of the community who is affected by sexual harassment and/or misconduct (including sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence) is encouraged to seek immediate medical attention and/or to notify law enforcement as appropriate. In addition, all individuals are encouraged to promptly report what occurred to the Office of Title IX, so appropriate action can be taken to eliminate the harassment, support the individual(s) impacted, prevent the recurrence of the harassment, and address the negative effects of violence on our community. All employees (including faculty, staff, resident assistants, and peer mentors) are required to share information regarding sexual assault, relationship abuse, stalking, sexual harassment, and other forms of sexbased discrimination to the Title IX Coordinator. Confidential on-campus resources (Wellness Center and Dean of Religious & Spiritual Life) are not required to contact the Title IX Coordinator. Every effort will be made
to respect the privacy of the involved parties, and when a report is received the Title IX Coordinator will contact the student directly. For more information, please visit rollins.edu/Title IX or contact Title IX Coordinator Sarah Laake at 407-6911773 or slaake@rollins.edu. On-Campus Confidential Resources Rollins Wellness Center: Provides students with free one-on-one and group counseling for mental health concerns, as well as access to medical care, Plan B, and STD/STI testing. Confidentiality laws protect the conversations individuals have with a counselor or medical staff in the course of care or treatment. To speak to the Wellness Center during normal business hours, call 407-628-6340 or visit the office at 118 W. Fairbanks Avenue. In case of a mental health emergency, call 911, After-Hours Crisis Phone 833848-1761, Lifeline of Central Florida 407-425-2624, or Campus Safety 407-646-2999. After normal business hours, an on-call counselor is available to students. To reach the on-call counselor, call Campus Safety at 407646-2999 and ask for the “On-Call CAPS Counselor.” The student does not need to disclose their name or reason for the call, and the dispatcher will transfer the call to the on-call counselor. Dean of Religious & Spiritual Life: Reverend Katrina Jenkins offers confidential pastoral counseling and can be reached at 407-646-2440 or kejenkins@rollins.edu.

You may be the first or only person with whom the student shares their experience. It is not always easy to know what to say when someone discloses victimization, especially when that person is a family member, friend, or loved one. Consider the following ways of showing support: • Assess Safety: Determine if the student needs immediate medical attention and has a safe place to go. • Listen and Be Present: Listen patiently and give the student your full attention. Resist the urge to say or do something to fix the situation or ask a lot of questions. • Believe Them: Accept the student’s experience without question or doubt. Communicate without judgment. Check your reactions to what they are sharing. • Express Empathy and Compassion: Express your feelings of empathy without contributing to feelings of
•

•
victimization or blame. Say things like: “I’m sorry this happened to you,” “I care about you and am here to listen or help in any way I can,” and “It’s not your fault.” Empower Them: Present the resources available and allow the student to make the right decisions for themselves. Avoid offering advice or making assumptions because each person’s story and personal experience are unique. Provide Resources: Refer the student to professional resources such as a mental health counselor, doctor, hospital, or local victim service center if they are in need of medical treatment or support services. Be Patient: There is no timetable for recovering from trauma. Avoid putting pressure on the student to engage in activities they are not ready to do yet. Follow Up: Continue to show your support by checking in to remind the student you care and to ask if there is anything with which you may be able to help. Self-Care: Both you and the student will need to practice good physical and emotional self-care.
