This week I’m talking with a parent that had a freshman in fall 2020. She’s sharing her experience, her lessons learned, what she’d do differently with us.

Let’s talk about a major issue.

Your student tells you they don’t think they are in the right major.

They need to apply but don’t know which major to apply to.

They are failing classes.

So what is a parent to do when your student wants to change majors? What does that do to timeline? Is there a way to save the current and add a minor/concentration/certificate in the other discipline that will allow them to complete on time.

Joy is back talking about the student loan servicers, forgiveness programs and which options may be best for you.

In this week’s episode I’m sharing the collection of deadlines I’ve identified for the newly admitted, continuing, and graduating college student. Mom, this is not your list to own. For the newly admitted student you will be pretty involved but as your student progresses through college and matures, it becomes less you through your coaching. By the time you get to graduation you will be at a point to simply relish in your student’s success.
