Under the federal law the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), most information about students, including grades, is considered confidential and, with certain exceptions, generally may not be released to third parties, including parents/guardians, without the student’s written consent. Read the full policy here.
In Workday, students may create accounts for parents or others (third-parties) so they may view student account/financial aid, class schedules and/or grades. Third-parties receive their own Workday username and password.
