Parent and Family Resources

As a family member of a GCU student, you are now officially part of our extended Lope family. The role you have in the life of your student over their college career plays an integral part in the success they will have on campus. College is a time of growth in terms of your student’s academic pursuits, personal development and spiritual formation — and we want to partner with you in that endeavor.

Throughout your student's time at GCU, our office can offer support and provide you with resources to stay connected. We encourage you to take part in events tailored just for you, sign up for our monthly Lope Family Newsletter, 'like' the GCU Lope Family Facebook page and participate in a Lope Family Group near you. To be even more involved, apply to be part of our Parent Council in the spring.

We pray that this year brings many blessings and we look forward to seeing you on campus.

Family Weekend is a great opportunity for you to visit your student and to see our beautiful, growing campus. We plan fun activities that your family can enjoy together as you experience Lope Life in the heart of Phoenix.

Watch for this year’s Family Weekend details in the Lope Family Newsletter and on the Lope Family Facebook Page.

At the end of each semester, we sponsor Fuel for Finals, a drop-in event where students can receive prayer and encouragement from GCU families as they prepare for final exams.

Sign-ups will be collected each semester through the Lope Family Newsletter.

A Lope Family Group is a great way to connect with other GCU families in your area. Groups meet monthly to pray, pack care packages or serve the community.

To join a Lope Family Group, view the current list and sign up.

Every spring, families and students have the opportunity to serve the Canyon Corridor community surrounding GCU through a half day service project. The next Serve the City event will take place February 2021.
