We understand that most students have parents, guardians, families and/or other adults that share a vested interest in the student's success at DePaul. We welcome your support and involvement as a healthy part of your student's development.
Visit this website often for information regarding our department and things that may be of interest to you. We may also mail important information to you from time to time to the address provided by the student.
However, it is important to remember that our primary agreement is with the student and we will do our best to resolve all issues directly with the student. We recognize that confidentiality and privacy are important and adhere to the guidelines of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA).
FERPA protects the privacy of students' academic and financial records and may limit our ability to provide certain details.
Parents, family members and guardians will also find it helpful to be familiar with the
Guide to Student Housing,
Code of Student Responsibility
and our
Posting Policy.
Parental Notification Policy - The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (HR 6) permits institutions of higher education to disclose to parents or legal guardians of a student under the age of 21 years information regarding the violation of any Federal, State, or local law, or institutional disciplinary rule or policy regarding the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance.
The Higher Education Amendments further permits institutions of higher education to disclose limited information from disciplinary records of students who have admitted or been found in violation of a crime of violence where the records directly relate to such misconduct.
Parental Notification Protocol - Recognizing that the provisions of HR 6 are permissive rather than compulsory in nature, DePaul University will notify the parents of students under the age of 21 years regarding the violations of any Federal, State or local law, or Code of Student Responsibility policies pertaining to the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance in the following circumstances.
• In cases of repeated violations of the Code of Student Responsibility policies regarding the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance.
• In cases of a major violation of the Code of Student Responsibility policies regarding alcohol or controlled substances which result in the student being placed on university or residence hall disciplinary probation.
• In cases of a violation of the Code of Student Responsibility policies regarding alcohol or controlled substances which result in an arrest being made by the Chicago Police Department.
• In cases of a violation of the Code of Student Responsibility policies regarding alcohol or controlled substances which result in student behavior that could cause harm to self or others, including, but not limited to hospital transport for excessive drinking.
