Welcome

Freshman Checklist Transfer Checklist Parent and Family Handbook Welcome to the Mississippi State University Family and the Office of Parent and Family Services. College is a very stressful time in the life of a student, but through the combined effort of family and university, this endeavor can be very successful.

College is both an academic and social experiment for students, and there are many issues and situations in which parents may find themselves in need of more information in order to assist their son or daughter. Our mission is to provide you with the resources to become familiar with Mississippi State life and how the university operates.

While we hope that this Web site will give you comprehensive information about campus resources, activities, and administrative offices, you may still have questions about the University and the transition of your student into college life.

Furthermore, know that we are dedicated to creating a partnership with you, the parents.

We hope this partnership will provide you with the resources and components necessary to assist your student toward success at MSU.

Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions and concerns.
