Send your student a letter!
We know there’s a lot to accomplish between now and Move-In Day, we invite parents and families to write an email to their student that will be delivered on the first day of class. Pretty cool, huh? Here’s the link to the Wildcat Welcome email: https://go.k-state.edu/wildcatwelcome.
Why Can’t I see my student’s grades?
There are a few areas where college students are considered adults under federal law and parents’ rights to access information about their students are restricted.
