These courses are not included in the grade point average. The reports are mailed directly to the student's home address. In order to give students a sense of their performance during the course of the semester, the University sends a mid-term grade report to each student via campus mail. In addition, the parents of students on Academic Warning or Probation receive a copy of any letter sent by the Academic Standing Committee. Parents of dependent students may have access to the student's permanent record in the Registrar's Office.
Federal law prohibits the release of grades during a telephone conversation.
The appropriate college administrator must be present when the records are examined. Records in the Health Center and Counseling Offices are not subject to review by the student, but may be examined by an accredited physician or appropriate professional in the presence of the administrator of the office. The University publishes a directory of students each year in which the student's name, address, major, class, university address, and campus extension are listed. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 establishes the guidelines for University policy regarding third party access to records. A complete copy of Susquehanna's policy is available from the Student Life Office.
