Parents & Families

At ��ý College, supporting students through their college experience is our number one priority — supporting parents is a close second.

We understand the importance of knowing — and sharing with your student — all things Mount Holyoke. From academic and extracurricular opportunities, course registration and internship deadlines, dinner menus and library hours, many questions arise over four years. Having resources at your fingertips is vital.
