The University of Memphis considers parents and family members to be valuable partners in student success. The Parent & Family Association (PFA) is a way for you to be informed and involved as partners in the education of your student.

Membership in PFA allows you to connect and engage with the UofM while providing you with information and opportunities to support your student's learning. By providing you with access to information and staff who can help you, the PFA helps you to empower your student to take personal responsibility for social and academic choices. Additionally, the Association serves as a guide to understanding your student's experience at UofM.

Parents and families can join the PFA for a fee that is utilized to provide increased accessibility, services, and events for families. Membership in the Parent & Family Association provides members with a community-based connection to the university, while also serving as a vehicle for input and feedback to campus programs.

There are multiple options to join to fit your family's needs. Visit the Parent & Family Association page for more information and to join.

Download the UofM resources app! This guide is designed for the parents and families of current and future students. We hope that you will find all the information you need to help you help your student during their time at the University of Memphis including the Parent & Family handbook and calendar.

Your student may or may not admit it, but they will probably miss home in some way. Whether you carefully craft your own letter or care package or take advantage of one of our on-campus services, they will appreciate the gesture and will be happy to know you are thinking of them! An encouraging note from loved ones can go a long way, and you will gain bonus points for sending snacks or treats that can be shared with hallmates and friends.

The Parent & Family Services office offers Hugs from Home early in the semester and Finals Care Packages at the end that you can order for your student and send some love.

We have many traditions at the UofM and we hope that you will embrace them just as much as your student.

• Learn how to do the Tiger Spellout

Lambuth Parent & Family Day is an opportunity to join fellow UofM parents, families, and students for a spirited day in the Fall as we cheer on the Tigers. The event is an opportunity to connect with the University of Memphis, support your student, get to know fellow parents and families, and show your Tiger pride.
