There are numerous concerns that parents have when they send their daughter or son off to college. Most students entering college for the first time are faced with several important developmental challenges separate from those posed by their academic coursework. Some of these challenges include: learning to live with others, making decisions regarding self-regulation (e.g. eating, sleeping, studying, whether or not to drink, etc.), and making some beginning decisions about what they are going to do for the rest of their life (selecting a major or career option). Below are some useful tips to consider when your child leaves for college.
While your student is going through changes at school, it can be difficult for them to accept changes in their home life. Don't be alarmed when they panic. It is not unusual to receive a late night phone call from a college student in a state of panic.

The navigation for this new portal is different and we have prepared this section to help you with any difficulties you may experience in the transition. In order to authenticate each parent/guardian with each child in a safe and secure way, you will be provided a secure PIN for each unique child which will come under separate emails.
To register a patient for the new portal, you will need the patient PIN number provided by the office via your Welcome Email. Parents will register themselves for the portal and then use the patient PIN provided to them to add each child to their account.
At this time, we are registering patients who are already scheduled for an appointment. Siblings may or may not receive an email at the same time. (As you can imagine - we have alot of families and children to register! We are trying to prioritize those who are scheduled first).
