Information for Parents and Families of Muir Students

Muir College Academic advisors give students general guidance on a wide range of topics (general education, university requirements, navigating campus rules and regulations, choosing a major, selecting classes, developing educational goals). We offer advising hours (both drop in and appointments) Monday through Friday and students can reach us  24 hours a day through the Virtual Advising Center. 

Confidentiality

Your student’s privacy is protected by the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and state and university policies. We are not able to disclose student academic records to you, but we are always available to speak generally about university and college requirements and policies, academic standing policies, campus resources, and to help you find ways to better communicate and help your student. 

Students can sign a privacy release so that we can discuss academic matters with you, but we are still required to verify who we are speaking with and notify the student of any release of information, so we usually use the release of information as a tool so we can talk to families and the student together. Students should contact the Academic Advising office to complete a privacy release with Muir College.
