Parents & Families

You're part of our family, too. At WVU, we recognize that family support is an integral part of a student’s success in college. We understand that you are a partner in the educational process and encourage you to build a strong connection with the University by joining the Mountaineer Parents Club.

Mountaineer Parents Club

Membership is free and open to parents and family members of current, former, and future students. The Mountaineer Parents Club ensures that families are included in the college experience. To join, just sign-up online.

Local Clubs: WVU families are connected through local clubs that hold events like summer send-off picnics.
News Updates: Newsletters and Parent Electronic News are sent to keep parents informed about the latest campus news and services offered to our students.
Toll-free helpline: Dial 1-800-WVU-0096 to reach a parent advocate who provides direct and immediate assistance for parents who have questions or concerns that do not appear to fall within the typical categories of frequently called WVU numbers.

Visit

If you haven’t done so, we encourage you to visit campus with your student. Even if you have been to WVU in the past and are familiar with the campus, we urge you to return and see how the University – and Morgantown – has grown and changed over the years.
