Welcome to the Park Parent Website!

If you participated in the Parent Orientation - please complete the survey and let us know what you thought.  We'd love to have your input - so we can make next year's Parent Orientation even better!

We're glad your son or daughter has joined the Park University Family!  As their parent, YOU are an extended member of our Park Family as well!  We developed this informational site for Parents of current and prospective students of Park University, and we hope you'll find it useful. Some of the material will be unique for parents, and other information will simply provide a convenient way for you to access answers to your questions by linking to other sections of the Park website.

As an additional service to Park Parents we have created access to a parent specific “Student Health 101”. This is an online magazine that is provided to Park students to assist with living a healthy lifestyle and with experiencing issues of being a college student. The parent edition is a synopsis of the more in depth student version so that you will have an idea of topics to discuss with your student.  Please click on the following image to reach Student Health 101 for parents:

We hope you were able to participate in Parent Orientation on August 13.  If you missed it or need more information from any of the sessions, we have the hand-outs available here for you to review. You can also send an e-mail to any of the presenters directly from this site by clicking on their name. Enjoy!
