May I distribute students graded exams and papers by putting them in a self-serve box so that students can easily pick up their papers?
NO. Distributing students’ exams and papers in this way violates their confidentiality by making protected records available to the public. This is not an acceptable practice. Q: What information may I give to parents who want to know how their student is doing — what the grade is in a particular class, or what the overall GPA is? What if the parents say they know their student got a D- and want to know what can be done? A: You cannot discuss any specifics about the student’s grades. Use a conditional response: “If a student in my class earned a D-, I would suggest” You also can advise the parent on how the student can access grades via Banweb (online student information system) or by requesting a transcript from ARR. Remember to first check for records confidentiality before talking with parents or family members. If the student’s record is CONFIDENTIAL, you must respond to the inquiry in a way that does not acknowledge the student’s existence on campus.
