Abstract:
|
Parenting students face distinct challenges in higher education. This demographic confronts financial strains exacerbated by high childcare costs and limited on-campus care options, leading to potential academic barriers. Some institutions have initiated programs to aid parenting students, including financial support for childcare, flexible course structures, and mental health services. Advisors play a pivotal role in connecting students with these resources and advocating for systemic changes to foster an inclusive campus environment. |
