Parent’s right on college student grades?

<p>^mini–with >7,000 posts to your name, there is no doubt you will have the last word here.</p>

<p>I sincerely hope that by the time my CHILD is 35, he will no longer be my dependent. If he is, and he is still/again attending college and by some strange quirk of fate I am paying for it, then yes, I would like to see his grade report, and apparently FERPA gives me that right (today). We’ll find out if any of this comes true in 2023–stay tuned to CC.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to see the grades of your 35-year-old offspring, then that is your choice and I certainly respect that. What each parent chooses to do is his/her choice, within the framework of what the law grants us as our legal rights.</p>

<p>I have great trust in my S–no need to feel sad for me.</p>

<p>calmom, glad to hear everything turned out well!</p>
