Can parents see their student's financial aid, tuition payment info or grades?

WVU Parent and Guest Portal is an online system that allows students to share information, such as financial aid, grades, class schedules, housing and dining plans, with their parents/guests. Students must grant their parents access to this information due to FERPA regulations. New students and parents will receive more information about the portal after the student is admitted to WVU.
