Dear Pilot families,
Just like that, we're in the second half of Fall semester. If your student was home for Fall Break, we hope you had a memorable time together!
Walking around campus, seeing the quad buzzing with activities, hearing the chatter at the Pilot House, watching games, plays and musical performances of this awe-inspiring group of young people: it's looking back to normal on campus for the first time in years, and we're so glad your student is here!
We are here to support you during this college experience. Reach out to parents@up.edu with any questions, concerns, or stories you'd like to share.
In Partnership,
|

For many centuries, the Catholic Church has dedicated November as a month of prayer for the deceased. The University of Portland and Holy Cross community has observed this custom since 1901. As part of the Pilot family, we welcome you to be a part of this tradition by sharing the names of your beloved departed, whom UP will remember at its Masses throughout the month of November.

| FAFSA reminder from Financial Aid
|
Continuing students must submit the 2023-24 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by the January 15, 2023, priority deadline for maximum consideration. If you completed a previous year FAFSA, you can choose to complete a “renewal” FAFS, which will prepopulate much of your information.

Jasmine Fullman on Impact Stories

Every day at UP, something extraordinary happens. Our students embark on profound, life-changing experiences. They challenge themselves to step outside their comfort zones. They discover their true potential. One of the most wonderful aspects of Jasmine's job is hearing these impact stories from Pilot Families.
