FERPA Q&A

Q: Can you discuss a student’s behavior or mental health with their parents if the student granted them parent/guest access?

A: If granted, parent/guest access allows us to respond to the parents’ inquiries on specified topics. It does not allow us to reach out to the parents. If there is an urgent concern about a health or safety emergency (posing a threat to campus or to the student), there is an exception under FERPA. In these cases, there are several resources on campus for assisting students in distress.
