Email Updates
To help you support your student and to provide you with ways to connect to the larger Bates community, the Parent Team sends out periodic email updates to those families for whom we have active email addresses. Our updates are meant to supplement official college information, so please keep directing your student to their Bates email account.
Our more recent update emails will have the most reliable information to support you and your student. Please note that links and information from earlier updates may have changed or moved as the college’s plans have continued to evolve.
If you do not receive these email updates and wish to do so, please first check your spam folder and then complete this contact update form to make sure the college has your correct contact information.
