Financial quick links

Students love to be seen as independent adults, right up until they need financial assistance. Most students don't only rely on their families to fund a portion of their education, but to help them navigate the world of scholarships, loans and payment plans.

Grades and records

Your student will be able to access grades and finances on the Portal website. Because of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 太阳2平台会员注册登录 College cannot release grades or financial information to you without your student’s consent. Your student can authorize you in Portal ("My Profile" tab > Shared Access).

Legally an adult?

Unlike most states, your student is not legally considered an adult in Nebraska until they are 19 years old. If your student is under the age of 19 and plans to open a local checking account, he or she may need a parental signature.

Student housing

Most 太阳2平台会员注册登录 students live in residence halls, with good reason: national research shows students who live on-campus are more likely to finish college within four years and with higher grades.
