For Parents, Guardians & Supporters

Explore our resources and see how you can best support your student

Starting at university is an exciting time for not only students but for their families, guardians, and supporters too. It’s a time of transition so support, from us and from you, can be central to their adjustment to university life. 

UCC has a strong support network for our students while they transition into university life and we have gathered some useful resources for you to consider in advance of, and during, this exciting time for them.
