A Word to Parents

Due to federal privacy laws, grades cannot be released to any party, including parents, without written permission of the student. While an exception to the law does permit disclosing grades to parents of dependent students, Otterbein has chosen not to do so. Instead, we prefer to emphasize the need for communication within the family and provide an environment where the focus is on student responsibility. Grades are not mailed. Instead, they are available online via CardinalWeb for Students. Please ask your student to print and share his or her grades with you. Your cooperation is appreciated.
