Frequently Asked Questions...

要求安倍!

Q: I want to help my student choose a college that is best for them, and I know they need my help. How do I balance being involved, and doing it for them?

A: Remember who is going to college-- your student! While you will play a 至关重要的作用 in helping them make their college choice, remember that it is ultimately their decision. We encourage parents/guardians to consider taking on one of the following three roles when it comes to the college decision process:

  • Coach: A sports coach offers encouragement and expresses belief in the athlete, but never plays the game for the athlete, no matter how much they might be struggling.
  • Consultant: A business, 法律, or medical consultant helps ask questions and offers an opinion based on their experience (and training), but the client can choose whether or not to take the offered advice.
  • Administrative Assistant: In an office, the administrative assistant gathers the material necessary for their boss to do their job, does some of the legwork/logistics, 监视错误, and helps monitor deadlines/schedules.

Q: I'm so excited to come with my student to see your campus! 没关系,对吧?

答:绝对! We welcome both prospective students and their families. We do want you to know, 然而, that our tour guides and 招生 Counselors will address most of the visit toward the prospective student! Remember, you do not want the most memorable aspect of your student's campus visit to be you!

Q: I want to be sure that my student makes good choices once they are at school. What are some ways I can do that?

A: Make sure that the Office of 本科 招生 has your email address! There is a place on your student's application for them to enter that. This will help ensure that you get periodic communication from us throughout the application cycle. Once they begin their career as a Railsplitter, our Office of Student Services has various avenues for you to plug into!

Q: How can I help my student prepare for college?

A: 下面 are some very important dates regarding LMU important dates and standardized test dates. Various links are included when important. We encourage you to help your student plan accordingly!
