Account access for parents, also known as Guest Access, allows Michigan Tech students to grant individuals access to the students' confidential records. The Registrar's Office at Michigan Tech recognizes that parents, guardians, spouses, and others are important to students. Thus, we provide the opportunity for these important individuals to guide, encourage, and be involved in students' academic careers.
FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which is a federal law, protects the privacy of students over the age of 18 or enrolled at a postsecondary institution such as Michigan Technological University. Students have the right to choose those to whom they give access to their confidential records. To learn more about FERPA, you may visit our FERPA information online.
