Parents & Families

You strive to provide a supportive environment for your child. So do we. We're committed to fostering a strong sense of community.

First We Help With The Transition. Then, The Transformation.

We know that where your child chooses to go to college is one of the most important decisions he or she will ever make. We realize that it's one of your biggest decisions, too, and it's important that you have as much information as possible before making that decision.

These pages will provide you with a wealth of knowledge about the admission process, financial aid, and most importantly, what your child can expect to find inside and outside of the classroom at Fairfield.

Visiting Fairfield

We'd love to meet you, and visiting campus is the best way to get a sense for everything we have to offer. Schedule a 90-minute campus visit, led by our student tour ambassadors. Or, schedule an interview with an admissions representative. Interviews aren't required for admission, but they're a great way to learn everything you need to know about Fairfield.

Parent Engagement & Philanthropy

At Fairfield University, the parents and families of our students are an important part of our campus community. Your support and encouragement continue to play a key role in our students’ personal and professional development.
