Parents Matter

Dear Parents/Guardian,

On behalf of the entire Faculty and Staff of Ivy Tech Community College-Lafayette Indiana; thank you. Thank you for allowing us to help your student reach their goals of a better future.

While we are committed to creating a learning environment that will support the needs of each student we understand their success is not dependent solely on us. Research shows that supportive parents are incredibly significant to success in college. Your support and encouragement can have a more significant impact than many of our services. With this in mind, we believe the best way to maximize student success is to work together.

Parent Services provides a direct link for Parents to Ivy Tech-Lafayette. We are here to answer questions about Admissions, Financial Aid, and student resources. We invite Parents to attend a special Parent Orientation in August. You will also receive the Ivy Parent Newsletter with tips to better assist your student at home and on campus.

This webpage and its contents are specifically designed to assist you with supporting your son or daughter. With your help we will take one more step towards our motto: Changing Lives., Making Indiana Great.

Sincerely,

Ja'Niah Downing
Assistant Director of Admissions Recruitment
