Parent & Family Handbook: Willamette University Opening Days 2020-2021

PARENT & FAMILY

Handbook 2020–2021

WELCOME TO THE

Willamette Family

On behalf of the Division of Student Affairs, I’d like to welcome you to the Willamette University community. It’s certainly been a challenging year, but that’s only strengthened our resolve to provide the resources and services your student needs to thrive. We’re also committed to partnering with you to ensure a wonderful college experience for your Bearcat.

This handbook was developed as a resource specifically for you and your family. The Willamette campus is rich with opportunities for mentorship, relationship building, leadership, spiritual growth, service learning, academic advising, recreation, personal and career guidance, intellectual challenge, and community engagement. Please review this handbook and encourage your student to make use of our programs and services.

Although we must limit visitors during the fall 2020 semester, we look forward to the day when you can experience Willamette in person. We hope that soon you can attend a theatre production or musical performance by a student ensemble or a presentation by one of the many engaging speakers who visit campus. While you’re here, go for a stroll along the banks of the Mill Stream, take a walk through the Martha Springer Botanical Garden and witness the quiet beauty of the changing seasons.

You’ll discover that Willamette is a special place. It’s a community where students, staff, faculty, alumni and parents form bonds that aren’t easily broken. And we already think of you as family.

Sincerely,

Lisa Landreman, PhD Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students

JUST FOR FAMILY

FAMILY RELATIONS Putnam University Center, Third Floor willamette.edu/parents parents-info@willamette.edu 503-375-5489 The Office of Student Affairs directs families to campus resources, organizes family events and provides information for parents. The office also maintains the family Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/ wuparents. Please feel free to reach out to us throughout your student’s time at Willamette. We’re here to help!

Tips for Family Members College is a time for you to explore new ways of supporting your student in their emerging adulthood.

The opportunity to gain independence, manage emotions, acquire expertise, hone skills and develop mature interpersonal relationships are essential components of college life. Here are some things to keep in mind as your student transitions to our community:

› Be available to talk as your student prepares to leave home. Everyone in the family will experience a wide range of feelings, and this is an important time for reflection.

› Be flexible in your expectations for your student

when they get to college; they will have reactions and experiences that are uniquely their own.

› Schedule a regular time to talk, but let your student

know they can call, text or email you anytime to discuss their feelings and concerns. Offer advice, but avoid lecturing.

› If your student faces challenges, point them toward

resources such as tutors, their resident assistant, their academic advisor and the counseling center. Try to avoid coming to the rescue — instead, think of college as a job they need to master.

› Send encouraging texts or notes when grades on papers or exams are due. Students also enjoy the occasional “snail mail” waiting for them in their campus mailbox.

› Include them in holidays and family traditions via

Zoom, FaceTime or a similar app. To order a birthday cake for your student, contact our food service provider, Bon Appétit.

› Encourage your student to get involved in a club or

organization. This will help them connect with other

2

students and acclimate to campus life.

› Read the Collegian, Willamette’s student newspaper, at willamettecollegian.com. You can keep up with campus news and chat with your student about current events.

› Can’t attend games or performances? Check out our

website and see if any of your student’s activities can be watched online.

› When your student returns home, be understanding of their desire to have their own space and manage their own time.

What You Need to Know about Student Records The same laws that give family members and students control over a student’s educational records through high school are transferred solely to the student at the college level. According to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), college students are considered responsible adults and are allowed to determine who will receive information about them. Under this law, students have four basic rights: 1. The right to access their own records 2. The right to some amount of control over the disclosure of their records 3. The right to permit disclosure of their confidential records 4. The right to seek amendment to their records Because you play such a meaningful role in your student’s experience, we’ve provided answers to some common

contact family.

How can I get copies of my student’s grades and financial statements?

My student provided me with access to their records. Can you email a copy of their transcript?

The quickest and easiest way for you to receive information about your student’s grades and financial statements is for the student to provide it. They can look it up online and share it with you.

As a matter of policy, Willamette University does not release transcripts by email.

Are there release forms that would give me access to grades and financial information?

Yes, but all university offices require a release to discuss student records with someone other than the student.

The Education Record Release form is available at willamette.edu/offices/registrar/forms.

The offices below are the primary points of contact for most educational records:

› Student Accounts (account issues, payment plans): 503-375-5308

› Financial Aid (award and loan information): 503-370-6273

questions.

My student provided me with access to their records during Opening Days. Why didn’t I receive a copy of their grades after the fall semester?

The university does not automatically send information to third parties designated by the student. Designated third parties may request a copy of the desired information by sending a signed request each time they want to receive protected information.

Where can I find out more about FERPA and student records?

You can view the Willamette University Education Records Policy at willamette.edu/offices/registrar. If you have questions about this policy, email registrar@willamette. edu or call 503-370-6206. The U.S. Department of Education is responsible for overseeing FERPA. For details, go to ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa.

503-370-6212

› Student Affairs (conduct issues): 503-370-6447 How do I gain access to my student’s medical and counseling records?

FERPA regulations protect a student’s educational records, which include grades, finances and discipline records. Physical and mental health records are covered by other university policies, federal law (HIPAA) and professional ethics. In general, professionals working in these areas will not release student records except in emergency situations. Students can choose to release these records to a third party, but they must complete a Release of Information form at the time of diagnosis or treatment. For details, contact the Bishop Wellness Center at 503-370-6062.

Will I be contacted if my student is sick or hurt?

What if my student is in academic trouble or facing disciplinary action?

In most cases, the university will not contact family or provide medical, academic or disciplinary information without the student’s permission. If the student’s health is in serious jeopardy, or if there is a concern that the student poses a threat to someone else, the university will 2020–2021 PARENT HANDBOOK

Frequently Asked Questions If I live in Salem, does my student still have to live on campus?

Students are required to live in university housing for their first two years in college unless they are married, over 21, have dependent family under their care (child or parent) or are living with parent(s)/legal guardian(s) within a commutable distance of 25 miles. Students with four semesters in residence are eligible to live off campus.

Release from the residency requirement is by application only, per contract terms and conditions.

How many roommates will my student have?

Although the majority of rooms on campus are doubleoccupancy rooms, it’s possible to have two roommates, and students often enjoy the additional roommate and extra space.

Are the residences networked?

LIVING ON CAMPUS

Yes. All residential buildings have wireless network access and a direct network connection. For details, visit willamette.edu/offices/wits/internet.

Can students cook in the residences?

Cooking is only allowed in designated student kitchen areas. No cooking is allowed in student rooms, bathrooms, hallways or lounges for health and safety reasons. In addition, toaster ovens, toasters, rice cookers, instapots, grills and other cooking devices are not allowed.

What is the residence hall activity fee?

Housing charges all on-campus students an activity fee.

These fees are distributed to many different areas of student life, including the Residence Hall Association, drug and alcohol education, programming by resident advisors, academic initiatives and a wide range of activities.

Are the residence halls safe?

Our residential community is as safe as its members choose to make it. Outside doors are equipped with card readers activated by your student’s Compass ID card. Residence halls can be accessed 24 hours a day by students living in that community. Students will have access to all buildings in their residential area (Eastside, Westside, Cornerstone, Kaneko) during “Community Hours” each day from 5 to 9 p.m. If residents see

suspicious or unsafe activity, they should call 503-3706911 immediately.

Do students need renter’s insurance while living on campus?

Students should obtain their own property insurance. The university does not assume liability for any damage to or theft of personal property. Many homeowners’ policies provide coverage for the belongings of dependents who are attending school and living away from home.

We suggest that you discuss this possibility with your insurance agent before purchasing any additional coverage.

What if my student doesn’t get along with their roommate(s)?

Learning to share a room can be one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of the undergraduate experience. Roommates are expected to establish and maintain open lines of communication and address concerns to each other directly whenever possible. Resident advisors in each living community are trained to assist roommates in learning to communicate with one another and help mediate conflicts when necessary. If problems persist in a roommate situation, RAs bring the students’ issues to professional staff members of Housing, who then work to assist the students.

Are students required to have a meal plan?

Yes. Students are required to participate in the Willamette Meal Plan program unless they live in a Doney apartment, a Kaneko apartment, the University Apartments or a sorority. Sorority residents participate in the Sorority Meal Plan program.

What if my student has medical or dietary restrictions?

Your student should talk to a Bon Appétit manager regarding their medical or dietary restrictions. The oncampus dining program has been designed with flexibility to meet the unique needs of each student. Students should talk to Accessible Education Services about ADA accommodations.

Is it possible for students to change their meal plan during the semester?

All requests must be in writing from the student listed on the account to be accepted. Forms are available online

through the student’s Bearcat B&B account during the meal plan change period. The deadline to change meal plans is the first Friday of each semester.

and Macintosh operating systems. Keep in mind that some course-specific software may only work on a single operating system, so be sure to match your OS to the needs of your student’s major or interest area. Music and art are Mac-focused, while business and research fields predominantly use Windows. Although Chromebooks and tablets are inexpensive and useful, they lack the ability to install and run applications commonly used in courses across campus, putting your student at a potential disadvantage in the long run. Refer to the recommended specs for laptops on our website for more details.

HISTORY & TRADITIONS HISTORY Founded in 1842, Willamette is the first university established in the western United States. Willamette is closely associated with the beginning of law and government in the historical Oregon Territory. It educated many of the Northwest’s first leaders, artists and business people. Willamette established the first law school (1883) and the first school of medicine (1866) in the Pacific Northwest, which later merged with the medical school of the University of Oregon.

Matriculation: Our undergraduates typically begin their college journeys by floating candles down the Mill Stream during Matriculation at Opening Days. The moving points of light symbolize their varied paths through Willamette.

Midnight Breakfast: Willamette professors and staff members serve up eggs, bacon and pancakes at Midnight Breakfast, a late-night study break for students during finals.

To learn more about the university’s heritage, go to willamette.edu/about/history.

Social Pow wow: Presented by the Native and Indigenous Student Union, the annual Social Pow wow features native arts and crafts, dancers, drum groups and speakers in honor of the region’s Native American heritage and culture.

What would a college campus be without its traditions?

Here’s a look at Willamette’s unique places and some of the events that galvanize our community.

Bistro: Whether they’re picking up a latté on the way to class, studying for an exam, catching up with friends or performing at open mic night, students and professors often cite the student-run Bistro as one of their favorite hangouts.

Black Tie: Traditionally held during the month of February, this all-Willamette community formal dance is sponsored by the Willamette Events Board.

WILLAMETTE INFO

Lu`au: The Lu`au is sponsored by the Hawaii Club and is traditionally held in April. Months of preparation go into this event, with food and flowers flown over from Hawaii.

Today, Willamette University continues to push the frontier of higher education while remaining keenly aware of the influence of the first peoples of the Pacific Northwest.

Willamette has taken steps to strengthen relationships with regional Native American tribes, and our students serve as tutors at Chemawa Indian School. In addition, the Native and Indigenous Student Union has worked with tribal elders to rekindle the annual Social Pow wow and bring Native American artists and speakers to campus.

Family Weekend: This is a chance for parents and family members to visit campus, meet faculty and administrators, and attend special events.

Mill Stream: The Mill Stream running through the heart of campus is the place to see and be seen on sunny days.

Students usually stay away on their birthdays, or else their friends might throw them in.

Star Trees: Planted in 1942, these five giant Sequoias are the largest on any college or university campus in the nation. When you walk into the middle of them and look up, you’ll see a star-shaped sky — and campus lore says that if sweethearts share a kiss there, they might be destined for marriage.

Student Scholarship Recognition Day: On this day every spring, we cancel classes so that our undergraduates can present their research and creative work to the campus community. Their classmates and professors pack the audience.

Commencement: Our graduation ceremonies are coordinated through the President’s Office. Families will receive information in late January or early February during their student’s senior year. A commencement schedule will be posted at willamette.edu/events/ commencement.

Convocation (Convo): This weekly event for the entire Willamette community brings speakers, music and wide-ranging discussions to Cone Chapel when classes are in session.
