COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS

Accommodations

centerforstudentsuccess@beaconcollege.edu . All communication from parents to learning specialists or faculty will be forwarded to the Dean, and parents should expect a response within 24–48 hours. Please note if your student has granted consent through the FERPA waiver; otherwise, the communication will be forwarded to the student for follow-up.

Each semester, the Center for Student Success sends regular parent communications covering the major areas of academic engagement: attendance, class participation, homework completion/submission, use of supports/resources, and communication. Learning specialists do not report grades to parents as it is the student’s responsibility to keep their parents apprised of academic progress; however, midterm and final grades are available in the MyBeacon Parent portal. If parents have any specific academic questions their collegian cannot answer, these issues can be sent to the Dean of the Center for Student Success at
