[quote=Anonymous]OP - I understand wanting to know how your child is doing so that you can support him/her. When my children go to college over the next few years I certainly hope to know how they are doing - academically, emotionally and socially. As they are growing up and gaining more and independence I want to guide them and help gather the tools necessary to be successful (whatever that means to them individually). It's what parents should do. We want to set our kids up for success.

However...it sounds like you want to know the grades for your own satisfaction of knowing and, possibly, throwing it in your DD's face. As other PP's have said you sound controlling and overbearing. If your DD is refusing to share her grades with you it is clearly due to the relationship that has been formed between the two of you - don't blame the university and its policies. Has your DD given you reasons not to trust her in the past? What year is she? How did she do in H.S.? If she has always done pretty well then you should probably give her a break and trust her. If she has a history of problems then the conversation should be different, but you still need to evaluate the way you speak with her and how it affects your relationship. From this very limited perspective you've given us it doesn't sound very healthy...[/quote]
