Connect with academic counselors who understand the experiences of student parents. Whether you're planning your academic path, exploring campus resources, or looking for individualized guidance, support is available to help you achieve your goals.
At the Student Parent Center, we recognize that student parents balance academics, family responsibilities, and many other priorities. Academic counselors are available to help you navigate your Berkeley experience, connect with resources, plan for your academic goals, and work through challenges or unexpected life events.
