Welcome Parents & Family Members!

On behalf of Student Life, welcome to the Salem State community! SSC has a rich and proud history of educating students from the Commonwealth, the nation and the world. We are pleased that your daughter, son or family member has chosen us and we look forward to interacting with them through their academic tenure and eventual graduation.

The transition to college life can be both exciting and frightening for new students and their families. We provide many services and programs to help new students become comfortable with the college environment. Research has shown that out-of-classroom involvement is critical to student success, so Student Life constantly develops new programs both to help our students become connected to SSC and to ensure their success.
