Welcome,

At the University of Washington, our goal is for every student to have the best possible learning environment that will enable them to take on any challenge and, in the words of our vision statement, "to become responsible global citizens and future leaders." To this end, we welcome the active interest and involvement of parents and families in the educational and collegiate experiences of our students.

These pages contain descriptions of academic and student support services, information about the University's policies and procedures, a calendar of campus events and activities, and other pertinent information that will help you learn about the University and help your student be happy and successful here.

The University of Washington has a diverse student body with students from all kinds of backgrounds and families, and we recognize that families have different interests and needs. We encourage you to browse through this site to learn more about the UW and how we can be responsive to your family's particular needs.

The success of your student is of the utmost importance to us at the University of Washington. Please contact us with any suggestions as to how we may further assist you.
