PARENT HANDBOOKB DEAR AGGIE PARENT Letter From The President

WELCOME TO UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY, HOME OF THE AGGIES We hope the next few years are full of learning and growth for your student, and that you feel welcomed as a member of the Aggie family. As the parent of an Aggie, I have seen firsthand the personal growth that occurs as students participate in the learning, discovery, and engagement available at this world-class university.

Students regularly cite parents among the greatest influences in their lives. We recognize you are a tremendous partner in helping your student reach his or her goals. We thank you for your influence and support as your student experiences both the successes and challenges that will shape his or her experience as a learner.

Whether you are a returning parent, a first-time parent, or alumni, this handbook will provide you with resources and information to help support your student's transition to college.

While reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection may require USU to modify or cancel some of the events or services listed in this handbook, the university remains committed to supporting student success, health and well-being. To stay up-to-date on the university’s actions during this period of time, please visit usu.edu/parents, subscribe to the Aggie Parent and Family Podcast, and join the Parent Network for regular newsletter communications. You can also visit the university’s COVID-19 response page at usu.edu/covid-19.

Welcome to Utah State and welcome to the Aggie family!

Sincerely,

Noelle E. Cockett President

WHAT IS FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a U.S. federal law that protects the privacy of student educational records. FERPA protects your student’s rights by ensuring we don’t release any information to anyone without their consent; that includes you, as parents. In order for you to have access to this information, your student will need to go to myid.usu.edu, and assign you as a delegate. To find out more about FERPA, visit usu.edu/registrar/ferpa-info.
