[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 513333"] Shannon-the question of access to grades etc is something I struggle with as well-especially as my 17yo (pc17) prepares to enter college in the fall. Most schools have forms that your son can fill out & sign which will grant you access. Be aware, he can revoke your access at anytime. Even with the signed form, ime- many schools will not give you your own, unfettered access. They will rely upon your son either to share his login info w you or to set up a separate, limited login for you. While it seems schools are a little more open to sharing billing info (go figure), ime they wash their hands when it comes to grades. We recently toured a bunch of schools with pc17 & I point blankly asked each school "how" they handle FERPA laws. Again, learn from my mistake. Require your difficult child to give you his scholastic login info & password. Period. If he refuses or if he locks you out (changes his password) know that he is hiding something. Don't buy into the "I'm an adult, you need to trust me, blah blah blah". That's a smokescreen because he is hiding something. If his grades are good, he has nothing to hide. Two months ago, I posted that my difficult child would not share his grades with us because it was none of our business as we were no longer supporting him nor paying his tuition. I felt that he was somewhat justified and had an understandable point. Each seasoned member on this board gently replied to me that my son had likely failed out. They were right. Lesson learned.
