Will I Have Access to My Student’s Grades?

Gustavus encourages parents to discuss mutual expectations with regard to academic achievement – including how and when grades will be discussed and shared – with their students. Students can easily go into WebAdvisor and grant their parent(s) access to certain parts of their student record including their grades.  If you haven’t yet talked with your student about this option, summer is a great time to re-negotiate what information will be shared.  

The College may also release selected educational records to parents of dependent students under specific circumstances. While the normal procedure is to require your student’s signed authorization for parental access, the College reserves the right to release grade and course schedule information to parents of legally dependent students without student authorization if circumstances warrant.
