[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  You will only get this type of notification if your 18+ child is attending a very small private LAC....i.e.,, Roanoke College, St. John's College. Even then, they don't technically have to tell you anything as your child is an adult.  However, small private LACs tend to offer a more "TLC"approach.  [/quote]

[b]If the student hasn’t signed a waiver it violates FERPA - a federal law. [/quote][/b]

Both of our children signed FERPA and HIPPA waivers as conditions of us paying 95% of the freight (didn't qualify for merit; didn't get more than min $5K loan from FAFSA).  One is SN. You can't advocate with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) if you don't have a FERPA waiver.  We wanted to  be notified if either one of our children had a legal or health waiver.  HAving those waivers is the only way to get it.  Otherwise, you will wind up like a friend who didn't know her own son was flunking out of college until she accidentally tore open a letter from the college sent to the home (because he was supposed to be there - he had already been kicked out for bad grades - she didn't know).  It's infuriating but the way Colleges want it to give them more control over situations on campus.  It's especially important in the era of me-too and sexual assault allegations being tossed right and left and Colleges generally making a muck of the on-campus legal reviews.[/quote]
