Does Northwestern University notify parents if a student is put on academic probation, or is subject to academic dismissal?
No. Information about grades and academic standing is sent directly to students. However, a letter of probation or dismissal to a student may direct the student to a FERPA relase form (pdf) and request tat he or she complete it to allow the appropriate University representative to speak with a parent. Under some circumstances, a parent will be notified of a change in a student’s enrollment status, but in such event, no explanation will be provided.
