There are multiple ways to communicate with your student’s instructor through the portal. You can go to Messages from the dashboard menu on the left, or use the envelope icon at the top right. You can also view announcements by clicking the bell icon at the top right.

From the dashboard, you can see all of your student’s enrollments, who their instructors are, their current semester grades, their last activity date, and how many days remain in each enrollment. Selecting the instructor’s name will allow you to send a message. Selecting the Gradebook icon takes you into the gradebook as an observer only — you can view your student’s grades and work, but you cannot open or complete assignments on their behalf.

You can print your student’s grade reports or progress reports at any time by selecting Transcripts & Grade Reports from the dashboard menu. Grade reports are unofficial transcripts for completed courses. Progress reports show your student’s current grade in an active course. You can request an official transcript once your student has completed their course.
