Keys To Your Student's Success
These are just a few ways that FPU helps your student be well, do well, and go far!
The academic challenges of college can be quite different than those in high school. At FPU your student will have a faculty advisor to help with planning what classes to take each semester. Additionally, the Academic Success Center offers services to help your student adjust to the academic rigors of college.
Students learn best when their mental, physical, and spiritual needs are met. FPU offers a health center with a registered nurse, a fitness center, mental health counseling on-site at a greatly reduced cost for traditional students, and spiritual counseling offered by the Office of Spiritual Formation & Diversity.
Being a successful student means thinking about the future beyond a degree. The Career Development and Experiential Learning Center at FPU offers your student assistance with setting career goals, preparing for job interviews, finding internship opportunities, and planning for professional life.
The Campus Safety Office provides safety, security, and emergency response services for the FPU main campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week, staffed by 11 full-time, unarmed, uniformed officers. Campus Safety also provides shuttle services for students who wish to be escorted to and from campus buildings and parking lots.
Where Your Student Will Live
Is residential housing or commuting the best choice for your student? While we strive to create a sense of community for all students, commuter student life can look very different from residence life. Learn more about your options.
Student Expectations
FPU seeks to provide a safe and orderly environment in which all students are able to pursue their academic, social, and spiritual development. To be a part of its community, your student must agree to abide by and uphold the behavioral expectations encapsulated in our Community Life Values and Standards.

Stay connected with your student and with the university through official FPU communication.
