PARENTS' PROGRAMME

The University of Alicante is -through the Office of the Vice-President for Co-ordination & Communication- organising visits for the students' parents. The objectives of such visits are: 
 
  • To promote the parents' sound understanding of the University's facilities and services since

  •    the institution is in charge of their sons/daughters education.
  • To provide freely-available communication channels between the University and parents.
  • To encourage the parents collaboration towards a better understanding of the University.
  • To establish new links between society and our University. 

  •  
    Parents whose sons/daughters enter the university are phoned at the very beginning of each academic year to invite them to visit our campus. The visit will last about three hours and student volunteers from higher courses are responsible to guide parents around the campus after a welcoming ceremony. Once the visit is completed, a departure ceremony will be held.
