Our campus is buzzing with the energy of students returning, reconnecting with friends, and diving into their classes. Before we know it midterms will be here and students will be headed off to enjoy Spring Break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This semester, we emphasize the importance of collaboration between families and students as we navigate changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Understanding these adjustments is crucial for ensuring continued financial support. Read more about the incredible resources UTC is providing to help with the transition below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your students immerse themselves in classes, activities, and campus life, rest assured that the Parent and Family Association is here to be a resource for support and information. Whether you have questions about the FAFSA changes or seek guidance on various aspects of campus life, our office remains committed to creating a strong partnership between families and the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for entrusting us with your students&#8217; education.
