Parents & Families
Parents and families play a vital role in a student's life—and their education.
The transition to college life is a big step, not only for students, but also for families. UArts considers family members to be partners in a student's growth toward becoming an adult and full-fledged artist. This information is provided to help parents and families ensure that their student's entry to UArts—as well as their time here—is smooth and supportive.
