Parental Notification Policy
 
Wentworth Institute of Technology recognizes that students, parents and the Institute are in a partnership in which each has the responsibility to promote a healthy and productive educational experience. We believe parents can assist students in fulfilling their educational goals through the use of open dialogue.  Therefore, in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Wentworth Institute of Technology reserves the right to notify parents/guardians of dependent students when:
  • a student is involved in serious disciplinary incident
  • a student is involved in an alcohol or drug violation
  • a student has been placed on housing or Institute probation
  • a student has been suspended from housing or the Institute
  • a student has been expelled from the Institute
  • a student is at risk of harming themselves or others
  • a student is experiencing medical or psychological emergencies or at any time the Institute decides it would be in the best interest of the student, the community, or the Institute to do so.
