Parents and Family

Whether you are a parent, guardian, or family member of a Walters State student, we know you care about their academic success. SENATORS SHARE was created to help keep you informed about your student’s college experience.

Senators Share is your link to important tips, facts, dates, and deadline information that are significant to your student. We encourage you to take advantage of things like our Parent and Family Orientation and helpful advice for those looking to be more involved in their student’s education.

Walters State encourages continuous academic advising. Students should feel free to seek academic advice and mentoring throughout their college career. To make sure students are taking the correct courses and staying on track to graduate, we require academic advising every semester prior to registration. Students should mark their calendar in March and October to make appointments to speak with their academic advisor.
