家长。 & 家庭资源
The transition from home to college is significant for students, 父母, and families. 在北园大学, 父母 and families are viewed as members of the North Park community and partners in the educational process. As a campus we offer assistance to 父母 and families by anticipating some of their questions and concerns.
Stay connected to the campus in the following ways:
- Join us in praying throughout the year through the 家人和朋友的祷告 更新.
- 访问 the University website frequently for the latest 新闻 and happenings in the lives of North Park University students, listings of 校园活动，以及其他有用的资料.
- Connect with North Park on social media for daily 更新s from campus: 脸谱网 | Instagram | 推特 | Snapchat | LinkedIn | YouTube
We hope these tools will be helpful points of an ongoing connection between you, 你的学生, and North Park throughout the academic year.
We look forward to meeting you whenever you are on campus. Please let us know if we can be of service to you in any way. We trust your visits to campus will be frequent and enjoyable.

学校记录
The University is prohibited, based on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), from releasing certain information to 父母 and/or family members without permission of the student. FERPA, also known as the Buckley Amendment, considers college students as responsible adults who are allowed to determine who will receive information about them. 根据这项法律, 父母 who want to receive a copy of their student’s academic or financial records can do so only if their student signs a FERPA豁免表格. We encourage you to have a conversation with 你的学生 about how information regarding academic and financial records will be shared.
