Parents and Family
Welcome to the Woodsworth College community!
As you watch your student head off to university for the first time, you may be experiencing emotions ranging from pride and excitement to anxiety. We've created this page to familiarize you with the campus services and supports available to your student.
Want to stay up-to-date?
- U of T has launched a comprehensive Parents & Supporters website with info to help you navigate U of T and familiarize yourself with the resources available to students.

Student Confidentiality
