Parent and Family Programs serves as a resource for parents and families concerning the experience of their student(s) from their first semester on the SMU campus through graduation. We work with the SMU Mothers and Dads Club as well as individual parents in supporting student success in all aspects of University life.
College life comes with a new school, new people, new places both on and off campus, new experiences, and importantly - a new support network. As students begin their academic and social journey through young adulthood, we believe it is important that you as parents and families know and understand the resources available for you and your student here on the Hilltop should a need arise. As a parent or family member, SMU considers you to be a valued partner with us in your student’s success!

We are excited to introduce you and your student to the academics, campus life, resources, and traditions SMU has to offer. New students will be asked to complete orientation, and we invite you to participate in your own orientation programming. We can’t wait to welcome you into the Mustang Family!
From Family Weekend to FAQs, the Office of Parent and Family Programs is here to support you during your student’s time on the Hilltop.
