At the University of Mary Washington, we understand that navigating the collegiate experience isn’t only a student experience–it’s a partnership between family, student, and institution. It is our collective goal to ensure that students have not only the resources that they need to be successful, but also that they develop the skills that they need to navigate college life more autonomously. On this page, please find some resources that might be helpful as you support your student through their transition to the University.
