What is the procedure for arranging to receive a copy of my son’s/daughter’s grades?
University policy regarding confidentiality of student records reflects current interpretations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and amendments thereto. This policy allows a student to inspect, review and obtain copies of records (including grades) that are directly related to the student but prevents the University from divulging such records to anyone other than the student (including the student’s parents) without the student’s permission. Understandably, most parents are very interested in student grades, and we encourage parents and students to talk openly about this matter. All incoming students should go to the “Privacy Settings” page of Penn InTouch and indicate what information, if any, may be divulged and to whom.
