PARENT INFORMATION FORM

As parents or guardians, you have had the unique opportunity to watch your children grow and develop over their lifetimes. You obviously have knowledge and insights about them that no one else can have. Please use this form as a place to provide any information which you think might be helpful to us or to college admission officers in considering your child as a candidate for college admission.

Providing parent information is entirely optional. The specific format of our form is not intended to limit you. If you feel it is not appropriate, but you wish to provide comments, please use the additional comments text area at the bottom of the form. If you choose to use the form, do not feel compelled to respond to every item. If a non-custodial parent or relative wishes to provide information, please give them the URL of this form and they may submit their own copy.
