SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR PARENTS

As your child embarks on the journey of higher education, your own different journey also begins. Your learning won't be in a classroom, but the process can be very rewarding as you adjust to this new stage of growth and possibilities.

You can start by taking a QUIZ to see where you stand: Are you on "Empty Nest Alert," are you "Soldiering On," or are you a "Parent Reborn?". Don't worry - there are no grades or demerits - just some fun.

We invite you to take a closer look at the resources, tools and helpful feedback from the CSM Student Development department. We are here to assist and support CSM students in successfully navigating their academic and personal jouneys.

Welcome to our Community and Enjoy the Ride!
