Don't be afraid to ask how it is going. While all students seek to become more independent as they attend college, they want to know that you are still there for them. Please note that grades are sometimes sent directly to the student - so as parents you need to encourage your son or daughter to tell you about the progress made each semester. Also, if when talking with your son or daughter you feel there is a problem, encourage them to contact the Counseling Center . Counselors help students solve a variety of academic, personal, and career issues.
All services are confidential and at no cost to the student.
Perhaps there is some assistance available for you. Also, you should fill out financial aid forms which are available in the Office of Financial Aid. Aid is available to those who qualify. Thirdly, Berklee merit-based scholarships and student employment opportunities are also available to those who qualify. Contact the Office of Scholarships and Student Employment for further information.
