Parent Guide

Welcome to the Olivet family! Whether your family is just beginning the college search process or your child is already a student at Olivet, we’ll help you find the information you need.

We know you may have plenty of questions about your student’s university experience. Feel free to browse our frequently asked parent or student questions, or ask us a question directly.

We also invite you to experience Olivet firsthand by scheduling a visit to the campus. You’re welcome on our campus at any time, and special events are planned just for you during Friends and Family Weekend, held each fall semester. (Check the Admissions events page in August for more details.)
