How can I fin d out my students grades?
Most parents ask their student directly. Doing so fosters trust and a sense of mutual responsibility. One convenient approach is to ask your student to give you a parent “PIN” number to access the University’s Testudo interactive web service (http://www.testudo.umd.edu/ParentAccess.html). With the PIN you can access your student’s grades, class schedules, student accounts, and unofficial transcripts. The parent access system is administered by the Office of the Registrar. Please call (301) 314-8240 for additional information. Also, as indicated in the answer to Question 8, if your student declines to share grade information with you, the Registrar will give you access to his or her grades, if you can demonstrate that you claim the student as a dependent for federal tax purposes. Generally, when a parent seeks access to a student’s education records (based on a claim of dependent status), the Registrar will notify the student and urge the student to supply the information directly. • Wi
