Congratulations!

You’re a new college parent! Your student has graduated from high school and you’re ready to take a break from that long, tough admission process.

Then comes summer!

This may feel like a finish line, but it just the beginning of another journey.

There’s lots to do during this important summer, but you may not be sure what it is or where to start. That can be stressful – or downright scary!

We’ve got you covered!

The Summer Before College: A Parent Survival Guide from Deposit to Move-In takes you step-by-step through this busy summer as you and your student make the transition from high school to college.

We cover what you need to know, what you need to do, and what essential conversations you need to have with your student.

What’s in The Summer Before College: A Parent Survival Guide from Deposit to Move-In?

• • Part 1 – What to Expect will help you anticipate what’s ahead.
  • Part 2 – Early Summer: Time to Get Started! explains information you and your student need gather to make some important decisions early in the summer. These things should be addressed now.
  • Part 3 – Throughout the Summer: The Work Continues takes you through other tasks that you can spread throughout the summer. You can’t do everything at once, but you can continue to gather information and have important conversations throughout the summer months.
  • Part 4 – Later Summer: Getting Ready suggests some of those later, final preparations to be sure your student is ready to go. There are still some important conversations you don’t want to forget.

  • Part 6 – And Beyond: On the Home Front is a bonus section, with information about what to expect once you head home, as well as ways to help the entire family make some adjustments. It also suggests some things you can do in your new role as coach to continue to support your student.
