My child is not of legal age, can I access his/her records?

Important Notice to Students, Parents, or Guardians of Students/Minors. The California Community Colleges enrolls a large number of High School and K-8 Students through our Special Admission Program for K-12 Students. It is very important to understand that when a minor (or adult) becomes a student at any college, all rights afforded to parents under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) transfer to the student. In essence, parents or guardians do not have the right to inspect a student’s records or gain access to information related to their attendance at a California Community College. At the California Community Colleges, students may access their college records online via that college’s online portal. In that way, students have the ability to share enrollment or grade information with their parents/guardians.
