Parent and Family Programs
Welcome to the UCA Family!
We are so glad your student has chosen the University of Central Arkansas. You are part of the UCA family too!
Parent and Family Programs is an office dedicated to supporting you as you support your UCA Bear. Our office reports to the Division of Student Affairs and is situated within the Department of First Year Experience.
We recognize that college is an exciting and transformative time in your student’s educational journey; and therefore, an exciting time for you as well. While your student is on campus, families remain an important ally to the university as we seek to help your student find success academically, socially, and personally. We hope that you know parents and families are valued as partners in education here at UCA. Students benefit when their family supports and appropriately shares in their university experience.
Parent and Family Programs works to keep parents, families and supporters of UCA students involved, informed, and invested – every step of the way! We work to bring families fun and memorable engagement opportunities as well as tailored and timely information to ensure you feel informed and equipped to support your student as they navigate their UCA journey. We are always here to support you and your student. Feel free to email us at families@uca.edu with any and all of your questions!
