Fall Term has come and gone – with all that it had to offer: Move In Day, New Student Week, Haunted Halls, Mid Terms, Finals and Winter Break. Winter Term now, is well underway, and we are honored to have your student live and learn here with us on campus!
Finals are not far off and then Spring Break will offer a well-deserved respite from the focus, the studies and the pressure of college life. Spring Break will also offer you the perfect opportunity to talk to your student about their plans for next year. . .
As a parent or family member of a WOU student, you have a unique opportunity to support and influence your student throughout their college career – especially as they transition to college for their first term.
Whether your student is a first-year student or transferred to Western to finish their degree, use the resources that we have here in support of your student and their college career at Western Oregon University.

This is your student’s second term (at least) on campus. Still – check in with them. See how they are dealing with all the new changes and the academic challenges that college has brought.
It is an amazing experience and one you won’t want to miss!
When you live on campus, you will be welcomed into a safe, supported and inclusive community where you will not only be able to pursue your educational goals, but also have the tools, opportunities and resources to grow personally and to make memories and connections to last a lifetime.

You will save money and you will save time – all while knowing that your student is living with friends and peers, surrounded by an entire network that is set up and dedicated to support your student – Academically, Socially and Personally.
University Housing operates under a shared mission. That mission is supported by our departmental vision, and we strive to support that vision through our Core Values. And what is behind this mission that we have dedicated ourselves to? Simple –
