Parents & Families

Parents and families are an important part of the Wenatchee Valley College community. As your student begins a new chapter in their educational journey, you enter into a new chapter as well.

As a parent, you have likely been active in the educational endeavors of your children. In college, the ability to be involved with their educational plan changes significantly. For example, parents’ ability to access information about their student’s educational records is significantly different between high school and college.

This change can leave parents feeling detached from their student's college education and unsure how to be helpful and supportive. Use this page as a resource for valuable information about the differences between high school and college, student privacy, security, and a checklist that can guide you through the admissions and enrollment process. 

Whether your student is joining WVC as a Running Start student, beginning their journey as a transfer student, or has been attending the college, we value your engagement in staying connected and informed.
