… When You Need, Answers, You Can Call!
The important call contact info you need to have. Over the years there have been only a few times that I, as a parent, have felt the need to call the campus to resolve an issue. Generally, I try to get my kids to handle it themselves. However, knowing where to call for whatever the issue can be daunting. For instance, trying to decipher how rush works or even having financial aid issues. Be aware though that, unless your student has given you permission to call or is sitting with you, some departments won’t speak to you, the parent.
