ROAR Information for Families & Guests

Welcome to the Queens Family!

Congratulations on your student’s decision to become a Royal! We know that starting college is an exciting time filled with questions, and we’re here to support both you and your student every step of the way. As your family begins this journey at Queens University of Charlotte, we’re committed to providing the guidance and resources needed for a smooth transition. We look forward to partnering with you to ensure your student’s success!

One question we always get is should parents attend ROAR? The short answer is yes! We know schedules can be busy, but we highly encourage a parent or family member to attend ROAR with their student. By attending ROAR, the student and their parent and guests will be more informed about the student experience, campus resources, and next steps for finalizing their enrollment at Queens. As a parent or family member, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about how to support and be a partner in your student’s success at Queens.

Some additional benefits of attending ROAR as a parent/family member include:

• Getting to know key campus contacts and administrators, as well as other parents.
• Receiving information you can utilize for future conversations with your student.
• Becoming familiar with the campus and the Charlotte community where your student will be spending the next few years.
