Northern Illinois University Family Connections Calendar 2016-2017

the family connections calendar 2016-17

We are excited to welcome you and your child to the NIU family! You have always had the welfare of your child at top of mind, always wanting what is best for them and their growth. At NIU, our dedicated staff and faculty put the welfare and success of our students at the center of everything they do. We are your partners in their education, and we take that responsibility, and honor, very seriously. Our goal is that when your student leaves NIU, they have the knowledge, critical thinking skills and engaged learning experiences that will help them succeed in their chosen field. We call this “student career success,” and it’s all about making sure that we are connecting your student not only with our great staff and faculty but also the outside world. It is our intention that every experience they have at NIU prepares them to succeed in the rapidly changing world that awaits them after graduation. Being a Huskie also means having access to our alumni network—240,000 strong—with more than half living and working in the Chicagoland area. A growing number of Huskie alumni are giving back by paying it forward—providing internships, externships and mentoring to our students. Encourage your student to take advantage of this enterprising and industrious network. Orientation is the beginning of your family’s journey with us. It is an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to making your student’s time at NIU rewarding, intellectually stimulating and fun. It is an opportunity to demonstrate that their future is our focus. We hope to see you on campus throughout the year.

Doug BakerPresident, Northern Illinois University

Welcome to theHuskie family

We are thrilled to have you and your student join us for your orientation program! Coming to college is a major life transition for your whole family. We are excited for your student’s next chapter to begin, and we hope your student’s time at NIU will be a unique journey filled with many new experiences, successes and challenges. Our hope is that the information in this calendar will assist you in helping your student as they

navigate new experiences.Being a parent,

family member or guardian of a

college student takes some adjustment. You are the family members who have helped your student get to where they are today, and you have an important role in their academic journey. At NIU we recognize that you are valuable partners in your student’s success. We encourage your student to grow and develop.

You have a new role as a parent or family member of a college student. As your student adjusts to adult responsibilities, you will evolve into their most trusted advisor and mentor. College is the time to let your son or daughter take all the good advice you have given them and put it to the test. When your student succeeds, CELEBRATE! When they don’t, LISTEN. Asking open-ended

questions will encourage dialogue and assist with the adjustment to these new roles. Provide your best care and support when needed for those challenging times and use the resources we provide to help your student develop a plan for resolution.

This calendar is a useful tool to use for your student’s first year at NIU. It contains important information about activities happening on campus for your student and for you. If at any time you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact our office at 815-753-1535 or at [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you at Family Weekend on September 23-25!

Best Wishes,Kesha Williams,Associate Director,Orientation & Family Connections

With move-in day quickly approaching,

your student will need to start

getting organized!

Parent Tips• Check out the Housing & Residential

Services website at niu.edu/housing for a

checklist of what your student can bring and

what should stay at home.

• Start to plan finances and your student’s

college budget.

• Have you discussed on-campus jobs with

your student yet? On-campus jobs provide

additional funding and develop students’

teamwork and leadership skills. Ask your

student to visit the Huskies Get Hired

website, go.niu.edu/huskiesgethired.

Welcome Days

Parent Tips• Going to college is such a major life

transition! Encourage your student to

attend Welcome Days activities, like the

Involvement Fair and the President’s Picnic..

They can also use NIU resources to be

successful during their first year: finding a

mentor, attending a First-Year Success Series

or signing up for the UNIV 101/201 course.

For more information, visit niu.edu/fsye.

• If your student is living on campus,

encourage them to get to know their

community advisor.

• Expect changes in their behavior, look

and schedule. As they begin to flex their

freedom, they might not remember to call

home as often.

Before your student arrives on campus, be sure they have

their parking permit. 2016-2017 permits are valid starting

August 15.

Parent Tips• Ask about your student’s classes,

roommate(s), friends and new life.

• Students involved in at least one activity

are more likely to get higher grades, have

fewer problems with alcohol and drugs and

are better prepared for life after graduation.

NIU has clubs, fraternities and sororities,

on-campus jobs, intramural sports, and

volunteer and leadership opportunities.

• If your student is having issues adjusting,

encourage them to talk to their professors,

get tutoring through the ACCESS program

and the University Writing Center, or seek

out a success coach in our Office of Student

Academic Success, niu.edu/osas.

• Ask your student how they’re keeping track

of their classes and other activities.

It may seem early, but now is the time to be planning for next semester and next year! Remind your student to set up an appointment with their advisor and make sure to

file your FAFSA this month.

Parent Tips• Apply for financial aid now for 2017-18.

Illinois State Monetary Award (MAP) Grants

are awarded on a first-come, first-served

basis, so file your FAFSA application ASAP.

Questions? Contact Student Financial Aid at

815-753-1300 or niu.edu/fa

• Students should meet with their

academic advisor before November.

niu.edu/advising has important

information about class selection.

• Your student should talk to professors

about any concerns before it’s too late in

the semester.

• Your student may call home to let off

some steam, share worries or sort through

situations out loud. Use these moments to

let them do their own problem solving by

listening, asking questions and affirming

your belief in them.

• If your student seems depressed or anxious,

they can talk to a counselor at Counseling &

Consultation Services, niu.edu/counseling.

• Students can achieve a sense of balance

with a healthy diet, adequate sleep, exercise

and relaxation.

After their advising session, your student

will be ready to register for next

semester’s classes. Remind them to stay healthy and

get their flu shots at Health Services!

Thanksgiving break (University closed)

Parent Tips• The winter is quickly approaching, and we

often see our students getting sick. Your

student doesn’t necessarily need to visit

their doctor at home. They can visit

Health Services at NIU, which is free to

students. Check out their website at

niu.edu/healthservices.

• As the semester ends, some of our students

find their funds quickly dwindling. This is

a great time to discuss their budget plan

and how to manage funds vs. priorities. If

you haven’t yet, encourage your student to

search for an on-campus job.

Parent Tips• Your student’s emotions may be on a roller

coaster. Many students really feel connected

to campus now but may be worried about

their academic progress.

• Students may need some additional space

and time as they prepare for exams, or they

may become homesick and reach out more

often. Communicate and offer your support.

• Make sure tuition and other fees have

been paid for the upcoming semester.

Remember, the Office of the Bursar

sends online statements to students, not

parents, unless you have registered for

Shared Access.

• As your student heads home for Winter

Break, they may have issues adjusting to

their routines back home. It may help to

renegotiate curfew hours and

family responsibilities.

Parent Tips• If your student did not meet his or her

academic goals in the fall, suggest a visit to

the University Writing Center or the Office of

Student Academic Success.

• Sophomores should begin to select a major

(if they haven’t already) or refine career

options and define their purpose. Students

can participate in the many career and

internship fairs, workshops and services

sponsored by Career services.

• Students in their junior year should seek

an internship in their career field. Career

Services can help.

• During their final year at NIU, students

should have a resume listing their part-time

employment, internships and

leadership experiences.

Fall Semester Grades & Financial PlanningAfter grades are posted in December, your student may be excited or disappointed at their performance. Discuss study habits and share your expectations for the spring semester.

College is about much more than

classroom learning. Encourage your

student to explore study abroad opportunities (we even have

scholarships for study abroad

programs), and to attend a diversity

program. Expanding your student’s perspective is

something that will serve them

well throughout their entire life.

Parent Tips• Talk to your student about studying abroad.

Students can learn a different language,

enhance their degree and make new friends.

Visit niu.edu/studyabroad.

• Support your student’s individuality. Don’t

instantly discourage a new hair color or habit.

College is a time for them (and you) to see

people through different lenses.

• Talk about the different backgrounds of

people on campus. Promote an open dialogue

with people different from themselves.

We offer diversity programs through many

organizations: niu.edu/aac , niu.edu/gsrc ,

niu.edu/blackstudies, niu.edu/lrc,

niu.edu/sa/organizations,

niu.edu/disability.

• Staying active is a great way to help fight winter

blues and manage stress. Your student can visit

the Campus Recreation website at

niu.edu/campusrec for ways to stay healthy.

There are a lot of great ways for our students to

make an impact on our community. Encourage your student to get involved with a community

service project like “NIU Cares Day.” They should also

be scheduling their advising

appointment for summer and fall.

Parent Tips• Does your student enjoy helping others?

There are volunteer opportunities through

the Student Involvement & Leadership

Development office or at the Center for

Non-Governmental Organization and

Leadership Development.

• Where will your student live next fall? Many

second-year students stay in NIU residence

halls. Check the Housing & Residential

Services website for options.

• If your student wants to live off-campus,

make sure they discuss their plans with you.

Students’ Legal Assistance can help students

navigate apartment leases.

• It’s time again for your student to meet with

an academic advisor to prepare for summer

and fall semester and stay on track

for graduation.

Your student’s first year at college is

almost through…but not quite yet!

It’s hard to focus on final exams when the

weather becomes so nice. Encourage them to speak to

their professors and buckle down for the final stretch!

Parent Tips• Whatever your student may do for the

summer, it’s important to talk again about

expectations for either staying at NIU,

studying abroad or living at home.

• Encourage your student to look into job

shadowing, volunteering, working or

interning in their career field of choice this

summer. It’s not too late to register for

summer classes.

• Encourage your student to talk with

professors about any remaining concerns

before finals.

• Emphasize the wisdom of approaching finals

with the attitude of doing the very best they

can and not worrying incessantly about

what has or has not happened so far

this semester.

Summer Plans and Major Uncertainty, Preparing for Final ExamsHard to believe the school year is almost done! It’s time to talk with your student about summer plans.

Summer is a good time to work and make money for

next year. It’s also a good time for job shadowing

and internships. Encourage your student to seek opportunities that will foster

their professional growth. It’s never too early to start!

Parent Tips• Keep the lines of communication open

and supportive. One of the best strategies

against stress and fatigue for students is

talking with someone they trust.

• The student who returns may not be the

student you sent to college. It may help

to renegotiate curfew hours and family

responsibilities for the summer. It’s a time

of adjustment for everyone as your family

grows and changes.

• Remind them to wrap up things on campus

before they leave: forwarding their mail

to their summer address, paying fines

for overdue books and parking tickets,

and finding storage if they can’t bring

everything home.

• When your student is home, review the past

year together. Identify problem areas, and

encourage him or her to consider

possible solutions.

Finals & Move-OutWow—the second semester is over! Your student will be gearing up for finals and preparing to move out of their apartment or residence hall. It’s important your student finishes the semester strong.

The First Year Beginning college can be both an overwhelming and exciting

experience for you and your student. The first year is filled with many firsts for both of you. You play a crucial role and can help navigate different transitions and obstacles. Our hope is to provide you with the tools to help your student be successful. Below are typical feelings/transitions your student may experience.

The First Few WeeksThe first few weeks of the semester are a blur of activity.

From the Friday of move-in to Welcome Days to the first week of classes, your student will be busy exploring their new environment. It’s important to check in with your student during this time and offer encouragement. During the first few weeks at NIU, your student may be:

• Exploring new independence• Learning to manage academics and social opportunities • Feeling excited, nervous and overwhelmed• Feeling homesick and lonely• Trying to find new friends

Mid-SemesterWhen mid-semester rolls around, your student has had

assignments and tests returned and may be surprised (positively or negatively) by their grades. They might realize life with their new roommate is proving to be challenging. Your student may also be:

• Asking themselves if they fit in socially• Looking to join additional activities on campus• Feeling more or less confident about their academic abilities• Dealing with consequences of poor decision making• Making adjustments to their study

and time management skills• Worrying about finances• Feeling excited about heading home during break

End of First SemesterNear the end of the first semester, many students realize that college is much harder than high school. Your student may feel pressured if they’ve been struggling in a class or procrastinating too much. Your student may also be:

• Experiencing anxiety about upcoming final papers and exams

• Feeling more confident about their place at NIU• Finding it harder to get along with their roommate• Becoming overwhelmed by commitments• Feeling excited and nervous to go home• Worrying about finances

Second Semester The spring semester is a new start. Students often enjoy

being home and reconnecting with family and friends, which may make it harder to return. Some students experience a challenging time at home and are excited about returning to NIU. During second semester your student may be:

• Working to find a balance between academics and social commitments

• Getting more involved on campus and taking leadership roles

• Thinking about academic interests and choice of major• Considering transferring (if your student struggled their

first semester) • Exploring internship and employment opportunities • Thinking about living arrangements for next year

Adapted from Empowering parents of first-year college students: A guide for success by R. H. Mullendore and L. Banahan (2007) and The happiest kid on campus: A parent’s guide to the very best college experience (for you and your child) by H. Cohen (2010).

Stay Connected Support your student! Stay connected by phone, e-mail,

texting or even snail mail. Your student might not respond right away, but trust that they are happy to hear from you. Don’t be afraid to share news from home—good or bad. Your student still wants to know what’s happening at home. When talking together, give them an opportunity to share their feelings with you. Your student is experiencing new viewpoints that may challenge prior belief systems. Allow them to explore their ideas without being judged. Understand that changes in viewpoints, behavior, dress, eating, sleeping habits and relationships can happen. However, if you’re concerned these changes might be a sign of a bigger academic or social problem, you may need to refer your student to the proper resource for help, niu.edu/counseling.

Adapted from Helping your first-year college student succeed: A guide for parents by R. H. Mullendore and L. Hatch (2000).

Your RoleYou know your student best and, therefore,

know when they might need help getting

by. Our goal is to provide you with the crucial

information you need to help support

your student.

Key things to remember: Know about

campus resources. Make sure you check out

our monthly e-newsletter and the Family

Calendar—both full of helpful information. V isit

our website at niu.edu/ofc often for updates

on events and publications.

Expect transition and change. You understand

change—you’ve been through it before.

The first year at NIU can be full of indecision,

insecurities and mistakes. It can also b e full

of fun, discovery, inspiration and exciting

people. The experiences your student has will

help them mature, grow and change. Your

student might be nervous, confused and

overwhelmed—all of which is normal and

expected. You can help by understanding,

listening, providing support and

encouragement. You can provide perspective

and help your student understand change is

a good thing—it helps us grow and discover

who we want to be. Your student might fail at

something or make a poor decision. Neither

mean your student is a failure. Focus on the

effort given and lessons involved. Ask them

what they will do differently next time, and

direct them toward campus resources

that can help.

Transition ChecklistStaying Connected

Discuss expectations on how to stay in touch. Are you going to text or call? How often?

Talk to your student about expectations regarding academics and safety.

Discuss Shared Access. What information will your student share with you?

Add [email protected] to your address book to receive communication from Orientation & Family Connections.

If you haven’t received the Family Connection e-newsletter, visit niu.edu/ofc to sign up.

Review your student’s class schedule and discuss time management and study skills.

Provide reminders on life skills (laundry, managing a bank account, eating well).

Paying the bill Fall semester bill is initiated on July 15. Visit niu.edu/bursar for billing and payment due dates.

Prepare for move-in Find out what your student needs to bring,

niu.edu/housing/halls/what-to-bring. Your student should discuss what to bring with his or her

roommate and/or suitemates. Make sure your student has prepared his or her laptop or

computer prior to move in, niu.edu/housing/restech. Review move-in procedures and parking information,

niu.edu/housing. Is your student bringing a car to campus? Make sure they

order the proper parking permit. Permits for fall go on sale on June 10, niu.edu/parking.

Prepare for your student’s first semester Have your student add your cell phone number to NIU’s

Emergency Notification System for Safety Bulletin Text Messages. Your student can do this in MyNIU.

Your student is automatically enrolled in the Student

Health Insurance plan if he or she is taking at least 9 semester hours. If you qualify, you may request a waiver before September 2, 2016. For waiver qualifications and info, visit niu.edu/shi.

Your student MUST submit proof of immunizations by August 1, 2016. For more information and to submit your form, visit niu.edu/healthservices/immunizations.

Make sure your student has completed Haven: Understanding Sexual Assault and AlcoholEDU for College before the first day of classes. Information will be sent to your student’s NIU e-mail. For more information, visit niu.edu/wellness/onlineeducation.

Ask your student to review his or her fall schedule. Over the summer, class locations may change.

Encourage your student to walk their schedule before the first day of classes.

Is your student commuting? It boosts confidence to do a practice commute and find classrooms.

Encourage your student to participate in Welcome Days, niu.edu/studentinvolvement/welcomedays.

College coursework is different from high school. The pace, amount and expectations for critical thinking are greater than what your student is used to. They may have been a straight-A student but find they need time to adjust to the rigor of college coursework. Reassure them that this is normal and that you believe in their ability to find an equilibrium.

Working toward a successful first semester Encourage your student to get involved on campus! Remind your student to make an appointment with his or

her academic advisor (October). Coach your student to visit their instructors’ office.

Faculty are required to list their office hours on each syllabus. Getting to know faculty can help your student feel more comfortable if he or she is struggling in class.

Encourage your student to ask for help.
