                TIPS
•   Have you purchased your tickets for
    2018 Fall Family Weekend yet? It is
    right around the corner. Be sure to get
    your tickets at clemson.edu/parents.

•   Families can have a significant
    influence on their student's decisions
    when it comes to alcohol use.
    Take the initiative to have open
    communication with your student
    about friends, roommates and
    weekend activities. It is important
    to continue these conversations
    throughout the school year. For
    help talking with your student about
    alcohol, visit clemson.edu/alcohol.

                TIPS
•   Talk to your student about how they
    can use active bystander strategies
    to help maintain a safe campus
    environment. For help starting the
    conversation, visit clemson.edu/
    healthy-campus/aspire/
    to-intervene.html.

•   Academics look very different from
    high school to college. There are
    fewer assignments, which may
    impact grades. Remind your student
    about resources they can use
    throughout the semester such as
    those provided by the Academic
    Success Center.
                                                                                                FIRST FRIDAY PARADE
•   When students begin college, they
    are adjusting to new freedom and
    schedules. You may see a change
    in how often they communicate with
    you as they begin to find their place
    at Clemson.

•   Clemson provides free, evening
    transit service on campus seven days
    a week from 6 p.m.–6 a.m. Your
    student can request the Tiger Transit
    service by calling 864-656-3333 or
    through the my.Clemson app.

•   Cooper Library is open 24 hours a
    day beginning at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
    Cooper Library closes on Friday at 8
    p.m. Saturday hours are 10 a.m.–8
    p.m. Students can check out a
    study room or use one of the other
    comfortable study spaces available.

OCTOBER 2018
               TIPS
•   Flu season begins as early as
    October. Encourage your student
    to get the flu vaccine now, as it
    takes about two weeks to build up
    immunity. Flu shots are available
    at Redfern Health Center.

•   Around this time of year,
    relationships can cause increased
    anxiety. The “honeymoon” stage
    of roommates or friendships may
    be over, and students may find
    themselves in some disagreements.
    Encourage your student to work with
    their Resident Assistant (RA) if they
    get into an uncomfortable roommate
    situation.                                                                                           STUDENT FESTIVAL

•   Be alert to emotional changes in
    your student that may reflect signs
    of depression or anxiety. Many things
    could cause these changes, and for
    some, they may lead to increased
    alcohol and/or drug use. Learn more
    about mental health by visiting
    clemson.edu/studenthealth and be
    willing to talk with your student.

•   Become familiar with the academic
    calendar and use it to guide
    conversations with your student.
    Ask them now about their classes.
    October is midterm month, and they
    should have a good gauge on how
    they are doing with their studies.

•   Be on the lookout for University
    Professional Intern/Co-op Program
    (UPIC) listings to become available
    mid-October.

               TIPS
•   As course registration begins for
    spring semester, ask your student
    if they are considering a Creative
    Inquiry course or studying abroad.
    These are great opportunities for
    your student to enhance their
    college experience.

•   Going home for the break is always
    an exciting time for students to
    reconnect with family and friends.
    Be sure to talk through your
    expectations of one another to
    avoid any potential issues as the
    Thanksgiving and Winter Break
    are coming up.
                                                                   HABITAT HOUSE BUILD
•   Talk to your student about their
    plans for future semesters in terms
    of classes, study abroad, and co-op
    and internship opportunities. Ask
    them if they are thinking about
    changing their major or adding a
    minor to their studies. A semester
    or summer abroad can often be part
    of your tuition payments.

•   We are embarking on finals time.
    Encourage your student to prepare
    well and avoid the temptation of
    misusing prescription drugs with
    the impression it will help them
    concentrate. Remind your student to
    get enough sleep, exercise, eat well
    and prioritize tasks. To learn more,
    visit clemson.edu/healthy-campus.

                TIPS
•   If your student is unsure of their
    major, have them meet with a career
    counselor at the Center for Career
    and Professional Development to
    take interest inventories and discover
    what majors may be a match with
    their interests and skills.

•   When leaving for home, it is crucial
    students unplug all appliances, turn
    off lights and lock the door to their
    residence hall room or home.

•   Your student’s final grades are out.
    December will be a great time to
    encourage your student to reevaluate
    their study and time management             STUDENT LEADER SOCIAL   EXAM STUDY BREAK
    habits or seek extra help in the
    Academic Success Center for the
    upcoming semester, if needed.

•   College provides a great opportunity
    to meet and work with all different
    types of people. Encourage
    your student to explore diverse

    dialogue with students different
    from themselves.

MARCH 2019
                TIPS
•   Spring break is here. Talk with your
    student about health and safety,
    and encourage them to be safe and
    responsible. For more information
    on health and wellness, visit
    clemson.edu/healthy-campus.

•   Talk to your student about where
    they plan to live next year in terms
    of on- or off-campus housing.
    Remaining on campus has many
    benefits in terms of close access
    to the library, dining locations
    and other facilities/programs.

•   If your student plans to move off
    campus, make sure they read the          REDFERN HEALTH CENTER         CORE TRIP
    terms of their lease carefully before
    signing. They should also start
    securing a storage space for their
    belongings if their new lease does
    not begin when their current one ends.

•   March is a busy time for students
    with midterms, spring break and
    organizations in full swing. Remind
    your students to plan ahead as much
    as possible so they feel prepared.

•   Be on the lookout for University
    Professional Intern/Co-op Program
    (UPIC) listings to become available
    mid-March.

APRIL 2019
                TIPS
•   It is time for finals. Encourage your
    student to prepare well and avoid the
    temptation of misusing prescription
    drugs with the impression it will
    help them concentrate. Remind
    your student to get enough sleep,
    exercise, eat well and prioritize tasks.
    To learn more, visit clemson.edu/
    healthy-campus.

•   The Center for Career and
    Professional Development has
    many on-campus internships and
    employment opportunities available
    for students. Internships are often
    paid over the summer and provide
    an excellent way for students to gain                              TRIATHLON EVENT
    experience for competitive positions.

•   If your student is not employed
    over the summer, have them
    consider taking a class or two. This
    is a great time to check out some of
    the summer class options Clemson
    offers as well as get ahead in their
    degree program.

•   Springtime is beautiful in Clemson.
    Encourage your student to get
    outside and take advantage of
    the sunshine. Studying at the
    amphitheater, walking through the
    South Carolina Botanical Garden,
    grabbing an ice cream at '55
    Exchange or going on a hike are
    popular options with our students.

MAY 2019
                TIPS
•   Have you booked your hotel room
    yet for 2019 Fall Family Weekend?
    Rooms fill quickly. Find out more
    information at clemson.edu/parents.

•   Please note you will not receive a
    copy of your student’s grades per
    federal law (if your student is over
    age 18). Minimum Cumulative Grade-
    Point Ratio (MCGPR) requirements
    for enrollment are based on a
    student’s credit load. Consult the
    Undergraduate Announcements
    for MCGPR requirements.

•   Students may have feelings of
    anxiety attached to the idea of going                    GRADUATION
    home for the summer and losing
    their new-found sense of freedom.
    It is important to have discussions
    about what life will be like back in
    the house and set clear expectations.
    Will they have the same rules as
    before? Will they need to check
    in when going somewhere?

•   If your student loves the outdoors,
    have them check out Clemson
    Outdoor Recreation and Education
    (CORE) trips. There are many
    offered throughout the summer.

JUNE 2019
                TIPS
•   There are several sources of financial
    assistance available such as grants,
    scholarships and loans. Encourage
    your student to apply for as many
    of these as possible — even small
    scholarships will help.

•   Ask your student to review what
    resources they still need versus
    what they thought they might
    need, i.e. magazine and streaming
    subscriptions. Discuss what could
    be eliminated and where budgets
    might be cut.

•   Is your student around campus for
    the summer? This is a great time         INTRAMURAL SPORTS
    to enjoy the sunshine and be on the
    lake. Encourage your student to rent
    a kayak, paddleboard or canoe from
    CORE and get out on the water.

•   Try not to take it personally if your
    student misses Clemson. Just as
    they missed you when they came to
    college, they will also miss their new
    friends while they are home. Don’t
    be surprised if you get visitors over
    the summer or if your student wants
    to visit a friend.

•   Keep an eye out for financial aid
    package notifications to be released
    (for continuing students only). These
    are usually released in the month
    of June.

JULY 2019
                TIPS
•   Since the school term is about to
    begin, take advantage of this time
    to figure out what belongings your
    student will need in preparing to
    come back — especially if they
    are moving off campus.

•   If your student has taken a class
    at another institution during the
    summer, be sure the transcripts
    are sent to Clemson to ensure your
    student’s records are up to date.

•   While it is quiet, this is a good time
    to look over your student’s housing
    contracts for the fall. Become
    familiar with when your student can                           BEACH BASH
    move in, what they can and cannot
    bring, when payments are due, etc.

•   Car issues can be challenging for
    students. This is a great time to get
    their vehicle serviced for oil changes,
    tire rotations and overall safety
    before returning to Clemson.
