Family & Friends

These webpages have been created for the friends and family of new students. 

We hope that you will come away with your questions answered, feeling better able to help your loved one adjust to life in residence at the University of Alberta.

It takes a lot of hard work to secure a spot at university and the support provided to students by friends and family is invaluable. 

Your student will be tackling new challenges throughout their university experience; your continued support and encouragement will be necessary to ease the transition into life away from home. 

Please choose one of the sections from the navigation menu to the left to learn more about your student's experience in residence.
