Family & Visitors

As a family member of a Coker student, you are officially part of our extended Cobra family. We are pleased to welcome you to Coker University!

We’ve collected some resources to help you get involved and stay informed during your student’s time with us (although we hope you’ll stay in touch long after their graduation day)!

The transition to college is a big adjustment—not just for new students, but for their loved ones, too! We know you have questions, and we’ll try to answer a few of them here for easy reference.

We know you’re eager to learn about your student’s life here at Coker—but we’re also mindful that this is a time of growing independence for the students themselves. With that in mind, we’ve compiled some information about student data legislation like FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), what we’re able to share with you, and types of information that we are unable to disclose.
