As a Kelley parent, you’re excited to see your student set and achieve their career goals. At the same, you’re wondering how they’ll get there.
This is an exciting time for your Kelley student, but it can also be overwhelming. There are many resources available to help your student with coursework, career preparation, and wellness.
Is your student looking for opportunities to make friends and get involved at Kelley? Encourage them to explore our 70+ student organizations. They can also reach out the the Undergraduate Program Student Life team for guidance.
The curriculum at Kelley is rigorous. This might be the first time your child is really challenged in the classroom—and that’s OK. It’s important for them to seek help from their teachers and advisors, as well as use resources at Kelley and IU. Encourage your student to visit the Student Portal on the Kelley website to explore academic support services.
Academic advisors help students explore their interests, plan their path of study, and answer questions. Students can schedule an appointment with an advisor, or visit the office during drop-in hours for quick advising appointments. The Undergraduate Advising Office is located in Hodge Hall 3035.
Get tips from current students on how to be successful in some of Kelley’s required courses, including Computers in Business (BUS-K201), Basic Accounting Skills (BUS-A100), and Finite Mathematics (MATH-M118).
