• 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 Self-Service Banner. Please ask your student to print and share his or her grades with you. Your cooperation is appreciated.

• Grade availability dates

  See the dates below for when grades are due to be recorded by instructors. Grades should be viewable in Self-Service Banner at the end of the day on which grades are due.
