Parents
& Family Engagement

For many of our students, choosing to attend UATX is a decision made in collaboration with their families.

We recognize that parents play a pivotal role in helping their children navigate the complex process of selecting the right university, considering factors such as finances, academics, and social fit. Equally important is the ongoing role parents can play once their student begins their journey at UATX.

In a start-up environment like ours, parent involvement is key to fostering a thriving community. The Office of Students and Community is committed to supporting your student’s growth and development at UATX. As we build this university together, we offer numerous ways for parents to stay connected and engaged, including Families Weekend, study snacks, care packages, volunteer opportunities, and other programming designed to strengthen the partnership between home and campus.
