Academics
FERPA, or the Family Education Rights Privacy Act, is federal legislation that gives ownership of records to the student at the college level. The easiest way for parents to receive information about their student’s grades is for the student to provide it. Students can look up their academic transcript online, print it off and email a copy to their parents.
Registration takes place around the middle of the semester prior to the one in which your student plans to take classes. The process sets up their course schedule and reserves a place for your student in each of those classes. Your student will need to meet with their advisor to make sure they are staying on track. They will register for classes through the Howdy Portal.
