Supporting Your Student

Once your student is on campus, there are a number of resources with which you should be familiar. 

Health

If your child becomes ill, injured or has other health issues, they can:

• Visit the IU Health Center
• Go directly to IU Health Bloomington Hospital or Monroe Hospital
• Get an eye exam
• Receive psychological counseling

Academic 

Figuring out what (and how) to study and balancing schoolwork with other activities is sometimes a challenge.

Perhaps your concern for your child is in:

• Choosing a major
• Talking to an advisor
• Finding a tutor
• Connecting with disability services
• Making sure technology is up to date and operational

Or you want to know how your son or daughter can:

• Get a head start on all-important career planning
• Prepare for graduation
• Learn about opportunities for alumni (it's not too soon)

Financial

Paying the bills or having a little extra spending money is always a concern.

Maybe your child is looking for:

• Campus employment
• Scholarship opportunities 

Your student can also check out:

• IU Credit Union
• Local banks
• The easy-to-use, convenient Campus Access Card
• MoneySmarts, the new Financial Literacy program

Social

Having a group of friends with common interests and backgrounds can make a large campus seem much smaller and welcoming.

There are many:

• Social and civic organizations your student can join
• Diverse cultural communities on campus
