Encourage student to establish strong relationships with
advisors and faculty.
Encourage student to get involved in campus clubs and organizations
- this provides another connection to Western plus career-related
exposure and skills.
Encourage student to seek help with difficult classes AS
EARLY AS POSSIBLE - they would want to talk to their advisor
as well as their faculty member.
Maintain open communication about grades and academic progress.
The Advising Center will be happy to discuss any general concerns
you have regarding your student's academic progress, but we
are not at liberty to disclose actual grades, grade point
average, or academic standing.
Although it may seem helpful, refrain from selecting or choosing
a major (or even individual classes) for your student. Instead,
help your student focus on personal interests, skills, likes
and dislikes, and how these fit with the world of work.
