Information for parents and teachers of future students

Parents

The transition from school to university can be very challenging for students and parents. At university students become more independent and adjusting to the new study environment takes time and effort.

However, we need to keep in mind that many parents experience a transition of their own when their daughter/son commences university. Seeing your child leaving home is a stressful time for all parents.

To assist parents we have put together some information to answer some of the many common questions you might have about university education and some tips on how to help your child.

We spoke to Ban-Ya Yim who is a Bachelor of Arts/Law student and her mother, Monica Yim, to find out about their experience.

Teachers and Careers Advisers

We know teachers and careers advisers share our goal to ensure students choose the right program and university to suit their individual needs. To assist you in helping students and their parents in the decision-making process we offer a range of support services such as publications, tailored talks, school visits and campus tours.

To provide you with up-to-date and relevant information we also put together an ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences e-newsletter to keep you informed of what’s on and what’s new in the College.
