The "How To" to Beginning College Newsletters
OFYE begins communicating with parents in the summer months preceding Cajun Connection, as a means to provide them important information on how to start college on the right foot. Information ranges from how to deal with the finances of college, to how and when to register for parking, to information about Move-In day if your student is an on-campus resident, and so on.
Starting college is a massive step in the life of a young adult and these "How To's" provide the information both you and your student will need to get him or her on the right path from day one!
How To's Newsletters will be updated to this page as they are published!
