Congratulations to your student — we’re excited for them to join the UPEI community!
You have played an important role in supporting your student as they’ve grown and changed over the years. As they enter university, the support they need from you will grow and change. UPEI recognizes that you play an important role in continuing to support students, and in turn, we want to support you. Below, you will find a list of ways we hope to engage with you during Welcome Week, as well as important information for the school year.
Welcome Week Website – The UPEI Welcome Week Website will serve as a list of resources and programming available to students and supporters during Welcome Week 2026.

Add Money to the Campus Card – Parents can also add money to a student’s campus card. This can be used for purchasing food and drink on campus, shopping in the Bookstore, printing in the Robertson library and more!
UPEI Supporters Website – contains a list of resources to support students throughout the academic year, including information on talking with your student, university language, student privacy, and more! You can also contact parenthelp@upei.ca for more information.
Student Life, and many others on campus, are here for your students. While we make every effort to reach out, please encourage them to also reach out to us if they are struggling and to reach out early. UPEI offers many support services and extra-curricular opportunities. These resources and opportunities can be just as important to student success as time spent in the classroom or lab. Please encourage your student to take advantage of these opportunities while maintaining a balance among academics, student life, and sleep!
