Information for Parents and Guardians

Your student’s educational records are covered under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This federal law protects the privacy of student educational records, and limits the information that can be disclosed to parties other than the student. For this reason, all correspondence is sent to the student. We’re unable to release information like grades and financial aid information to parents and guardians without the student’s consent.

This official document sent by the One-Stop Student Services Center, lists all awards—grants, scholarships, loans and work —offered to your student for an academic year. It also lists terms and conditions and the cost of attendance. This is not your student’s bill. It is meant to be a tool that helps you think through all possible costs that may be encountered during an academic year.

At times, your family may experience an unexpected change to your financial situation. In these circumstances, you may appeal for a re-evaluation of your student’s aid. All special circumstance appeals are reviewed only when an initial College Financing Plan is issued and all additional documents are received.

Your student will receive an email—to their Adelphi Gmail account—notifying them that their statement is available to be viewed through CLASS on eCampus. This bill reflects your student’s charges less anticipated aid (scholarships, grants and loans) and will display the balance due for the semester. We offer several payment plans and loan options to give you personalized financing choices. Federal Work-Study is not deducted from the bill since the student receives a paycheck for hours worked.
