2011-12 Handbook for Parents & Families

We've created this handbook to guide you through the U of G experience, introduce you to campus resources and to give you insight into some of the most common challenges students face while at university.

Updated Campus Resources

We've designed this list specifically for our parents and families. We have many services, programs and departments on campus and we know it can be confusing to navigate through them. This user-friendly list provides the basics with links to more information. Everything is just a click away!

In the Know

This is a newsletter sent to parents and families of current U of G students from the President of the University, Dr. Alastair Summerlee.

In their Own Words

Here's some of the wisdom shared by students and their parents.

Suggestions for Parents & Families

Sometimes we want nothing more than to offer help but don't know how, here's some tips that might make it a little easier.

General Campus Quick Referral List

Meal Plans

Hospitality Services administers the meal plans for students - they endeavour to provide maximum flexibility and a wide range of options.

Health & Dental Plans

Parents often ask us about the cost of the student health and dental plans, and whether optting-out is possible. These plans are negotiated by students (the Central Student Association), on behalf of students, with direction from the student body.

Learning Services

Information about assistance with learning at University.

Supported Learning Groups

Peer led study groups that help students navigate challenging course material and show them new ways to approach difficult course concepts.
