Final Exams Care Packages

We know that final exams can be a difficult time for your student. In an effort to ease the stress of final exams, Parent & Family Programs wants to provide you the opportunity to send encouragement all the way from home. Care packages are a great way to show your student that you're thinking of them while they're preparing for their exams. 

Finals care packages, made by the Parent & Family Programs staff, are available for purchase at the end of every semester. Family members in select cities have the opportunity to join other Razorback families for care package assembly parties. For these events, you bring the goodies and we bring packaging materials! Parent and Family Programs will then transport packages back to Fayetteville for your student to pick up.

If you have any questions or concerns about care packages, please contact us at (479)575-5002 or email parents@uark.edu. 

Send Your Student a Finals Care Package

Care Packages will be available for purchase through the Razorback Family Portal. To cover the cost of supplies and snacks, each package costs $25.00. You will have the ability to include a personalized letter for your student as well as any dietary restrictions we need to be aware of while building their package. Upon completion of your students’ care package, they will be contacted with pick-up instructions. All packages will be picked up in the office of Parent & Family Programs, located in the Arkansas Union. We will not be delivering care packages.

Care package basics (basket, some snacks, stationary, etc.) are provided, but we encourage you to bring a variety of items to include in your student's care package, as well as some items to share with others. At the conclusion of the event, care packages are transported back to campus and picked up by your student.
