Parent and Family Programs

Parent and Family Programs is a dedicated resource to help parents and families understand the new challenges, expectations, and opportunities that their students will encounter at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.

We believe that one of the best ways to support students with their overall success is to partner in strategic ways. We do this by raising awareness about university offices and resources so that important messages at Rutgers are being reinforced both at Rutgers and at home.

Our dedicated staff is here to help answer questions, provide guidance and create opportunities for families to feel like valued members of the Rutgers community.

Department Goals:

Support parents and family members through the transition of sending their student to college. Keep parents and family members informed of important deadlines, policies, and campus updates. Act as a dedicated resource that parents and family members can utilize during their entire time at Rutgers. Provide meaningful opportunities that keep family members engaged and connected to Rutgers.
