Information for parents and guardians

Information for parents and guardians

Congratulations - we hope you're feeling proud to be the parent or guardian of a soon-to-be Keele student! Please have a look at the pages below for your guide to student life at Keele University.

If you're looking for information to help them prepare, staff from our Residence Life and Student Experience and Support teams will be delivering a pre-arrival information session for parents. This will cover what students can expect on arrival and how we support them throughout their time at Keele. The date of this session will be confirmed mid-December.

If you're the parent/guardian of a student who is still applying to different universities, you might find this information more helpful.

Starting university is a significant point in anyone's life and we understand that you'll want to help your child settle in as quickly as possible. These web pages are packed with helpful hints and tips to enable you to support their journey with us.

New students have their own set of online Welcome resources to enable them to prepare. Please encourage them to:
