Bard Early College New Orleans seeks to work in collaboration with parents, guardians and caretakers as partners throughout the early college experience. Just as our faculty are experts in their fields, we know that families are experts in knowing their students and how to best meet their academic needs. As a collegiate institution, we approach students first with information regarding academic progress. We also welcome and encourage parent and family communication.
Additionally, BECNO hosts Family-Professor Conferences once a semester for parents and families to talk with their students’ professors and receive updates on academic progress. We encourage students to join families and faculty in these discussions as they are a great way to celebrate successes, talk openly about any challenges experienced in the course and plan for a successful second-half of the semester.
