TIPS for Parents FERPA the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act does not allow college employees to discuss your student s educational progress with you. However, your student s high school guidance counselor receives reports regarding his/her progress throughout the semester and may be contacted for such information. We encourage parents to review the syllabus with their student to assure an understanding of the assignments and the expectations with regard to attendance, punctuality, timeliness of turning in assignments, etc.
Tips Continued Students can access information regarding their mid-term and final grades via their Spyglass account. Students can contact their instructors/professors using their Piratemail accounts College personnel are instructed to communicate to students through Piratemail only. Your student is encouraged to contact his/her professor if he/she knows he/she will miss class due to an illness or emergency.
Student Expectations Attend every class (for the full length of the (class) Be Punctual (some Instructors/Professors my take away points toward a student s final grade due to lateness or leaving early) Wear Appropriate attire (it is expected that the student will not attend classes in pajamas, bathing suits or less than modest attire) Check your official Pirate Mail account regularly for up to date college information impacting your enrollment
Expectations Continued Be respectful in class, students should text or use their cell phones during class only with the permission of their instructor. Students can be active in class discussions by completing reading and writing assignments). Please review the student handbook page (17 of the 2013/2014 catalogue) with your student to assist him/her in having a better understanding of the above expectations.

Summer semesters do not count during the ineligibility period. (Students are required to maintain a high School unweighted GPA of 3.0.)
