Hear from our Parents

As a parent, you play a crucial role. You have the power to influence your future Trojan's dreams and aspirations. However, this season of your son or daughter's life is a time for them to begin making decisions. We would suggest during this time of growing independence that you play a supportive role as your student navigates this milestone of selecting a college.

 

Our Trojan Family is more than just our students. Hear from parents of current Trojans about their experiences as a part of our family.

How to help your future Trojan get started

Schedule a campus visit

Encourage your student to tour the Troy Campus with you at least once—and encourage them to return to explore the campus for themselves to get a feel for what to expect during their freshman year. 

Learn our policies and procedures

Familiarize yourself with admission and financial aid requirements as well as academic majors offered at TROY.

Support them and let them go

Allow your student to make decisions and learn from experience (while remaining on standby for advice).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FERPA and how do I comply?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children's education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”). The FERPA statute is found at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and the FERPA regulations are found at 34 CFR Part 99. (Source)
