• Request that your child order an official university transcript (an $8 fee required).
• Request that your child print out his or her degree audit report, which shows progress toward degree requirements and what’s still needed (questions about this report should be referred to the college office). Sometimes students
miss key information, so you can be very helpful by looking through the document and asking questions pertaining to your interpretation of the report.
Along with parents, university staff play an important role in the transition of a child from a dependent teen
to an independent young adult. Even though they can’t release specific information about student academics
to parents, they can respond to general questions about campus policy or how to handle a hypothetical situation. Remember, they’re interested in and concerned about the progress and success of each student. We want each individual to mature in ability to manage time, organize, and establish life skills, both academic and emotional.
Your child’s college dean is also available to assist with general questions pertaining to undergraduate academics. You shouldn’t hesitate to contact the Office of the
Dean of Students if you have an emergency or other threatening concern about your student.
