Parent Information

Families and Guardians are key partners in the success of our residents as they transition into independence and adult living. It’s not always an easy change to deal with, for both the students and the parents alike. Fortunately, we have done this a few times and have some tips to help.

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)  is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.

This means that the Office of Residence Life may not be able to give you information pertaining to your student without the student’s permission. A student can fill out a FERPA waiver to give Residence Life permission to talk you about specific information such as housing assignment, housing application status, housing deposit status, conduct cases or policy violations, roommate conflicts or issues, dining dollar, and miscellaneous charges. 

Students can email residencelife@mmm.edu from the student’s @mmm.edu email to request a FERPA waiver be sent. Without a FERPA waiver we can talk to you about general practices, policies, and procedures for a similar situation.

Dropping your college student off can be both exciting and difficult for the whole family. The first few months can be challenging as students move into adulthood, and parents begin to transition from the role of “director” into the role of “listener”. Here are some strategies you may find helpful.
