Welcome to the Vincennes University Family!
The Office of Parent and Family Services at Vincennes University is committed to serving
students by providing assistance and support of the family unit through quality parent
programs and communication tools as a means to facilitate student success.
To assist you in staying connected to Vincennes University, Parent and Family Services
is your connection. A good place to start is to sign up for our e-newsletter. About
once a month, we will send you an e-mail with current information, helpful reminders
and tips!
As you and your student navigate the college process, continue to visit the parent
pages. Here you will find information that will help your student along the way.
Does your student need academic help or additional support?
Find Student Resources including free tutoring, labs, and academic support.
First time on campus?
Get to know your way around by looking at the Campus Map. Another helpful resource is our college glossary. This is a list of words and terms you only hear in the wild world of higher education
such as provost, bursar, and syllabus.
Is your student graduating soon?
Make sure you have your calendar marked and have all the details. For all the scoop
just visit our Commencement pages for up to date information that will make this day one to remember. In addition
to parents and family, we welcome friends and visitors, too.
Is your student newly admitted and you don't know what to do next?
Visit our Next Steps page. It is chocked full of great information about a lot of things - from housing,
to placement testing to support services and more. Other assistance is outlined in
the information below.
