PARENTS AND FAMILIES

Helping the student in your life prepare for the transition to college is a huge undertaking. At UNC Greensboro we believe in supporting parents and family members during this time just as much as our incoming first years — it’s a major transition for you too! We’re here to answer your questions and help guide you at every step of the way.

BENEFITS OF ENROLLING AT UNCG

When your student enrolls at UNCG they’re joining the Spartan Family. We truly are a family here, a place where students, faculty, and staff share their ambitions and challenge each other to achieve them. At UNCG, your student isn’t just earning their degree — they’re building a better future, with an education that gets them career-ready, creates greater opportunity, and delivers real, life-changing impact.

As your student learns at UNCG, helpful resources like the writing and speaking centers and the Career and Professional Development office will give them the tools to succeed, both in college and beyond. Enriching programs like the  Honors Collegeundergraduate researchstudy abroad, and service learning add meaning, connection, and valuable perspective to their UNCG education. At every step of their journey, your student is a core focus of UNCG’s Culture of Care, part of our holistic commitment to our Spartans’ wellness. We know nothing is more important to you than your student’s health, safety, and success. It’s a commitment we make to them, and to you.
