For Parents

Making the educational experience for the whole family – students and parents!

Sending your kids off to school might be one of the most bittersweet moments of your life. When your child chooses Post, you can rest assured knowing that they are getting an education that will help them grow and succeed throughout their college career and for the rest of their adult lives.

Keeping Students Safe!

24/7 Campus Security

Your child’s safety is our number one priority. The Office of Campus Safety and Emergency Management works closely with every department and student group to ensure campus safety.

Campus Alert System

We even offer a message alert system to keep the Post community informed of emergency events or campus closings. Main campus students are automatically registered when they register for class. Parents can opt-in to alerts at post.edu/CampusAlerts4Parents.

Medical Care and Mental Health Services

Health Services Office

Open Monday through Friday every semester, the Health Services Office is conveniently located in the East Hall Annex. There we offer basic onsite care, education and information related to health and wellness, and access to information on other off-campus health specialists and facilities.

Mental Health and Wellness Services

Located on the first floor of the Leever Student Center, our Mental Health and Wellness Services offers a safe place where your child can speak with a trained professional about anything academic or otherwise to help them gain insight or make a positive change.

Clubs & Organizations

More than half of our main campus students participate in at least one club – and there are over 20 campus clubs to choose from. It is an easy way for your child to meet new friends and have fun outside of the classroom.

With clubs like the Investment Club, Los Latinos Club, Baldrige Ambassadors, and Billiards Club, they will have plenty of opportunities to join peers who want to broaden their studies, explore diversity, prepare for leadership, or just have fun.
