Frequently Asked Questions for 父母 and Guardians
的 College is happy to provide general information to parents about policies and procedures, resources and opportunities for students, how to best support your student, 和更多的. If you are not sure where to direct your question, please email parents@mediagate-egy.net.
的 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) generally protects student access to their education records and protects those records from disclosure without the student's consent. 类似的, students' medical and health information is accessible to them and typically prohibited from disclosure because of applicable patient confidentiality and disclosure laws in New York state. For more information, see Barnard's FERPA政策.
Please note that the College may call parents or other designated emergency contacts in the event of a health or safety emergency.
It depends on what you are worried about.
CARES: 社区 Accountability, Response, and Emergency 服务 oversees both the Response Line and Emergency Line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long.
的 反应小组 answers the Response Line at (212) 854-3362. This is a great place to begin if you are unsure of where to start, as these staff members are trained to triage concerns and render assistance when necessary. 另外, if you are worried about your student's mental health or about the lack of communication you've received from your student, this team is best equipped to either respond directly or help direct your call.
For emergencies, please call 社区安全 via the Emergency Line at (212) 854-6666. If there is a physical emergency or risk of immediate harm or danger, this team is best equipped to formulate a response and triage with 纽约市 emergency services. We recommend all parents and stakeholders call the emergency line prior to engaging alternative options (i.e. FDNY, NYPD, or 911). Our 社区安全 team is better able to direct emergency services to the various named properties (e.g., asking 911 to go to Sulzberger Hall can delay a response as the address for that property is the address for all of campus). 社区安全 will be able to respond more rapidly than an external emergency service.
If you are concerned about your student's academic progress, please call the Deans’ Office for 建议 and 支持 at (212) 854-2024. Please be prepared to involve your student in a group conversation with the appropriate advisor. Consent and involvement of the student is usually required under College policy and the law.
Student mail and packages must be sent to their assigned mailbox number, not to their residence hall. Please use the following address format to send mail to your student:
学生全名
NNNN Altschul
纽约，纽约 10027-6909
In the above example, NNNN represents the student's four-digit mailbox number. 学生 may retrieve their mailbox number and combination in the myBarnard Portal, under 学生/Mail 服务
In addition, please note the special instructions for mailing student belongings for move-in. More information about mail and packages can be found on the Mail 服务 website.
By accepting admission to Barnard and enrolling in classes, students accept responsibility for paying all debts for which they are liable, including tuition and fees. We assume that our students understand and will honor this financial obligation. For complete information on all aspects of our financial aid resources and policies, visit Barnard 金融援助.
的 财务主管的办公室 is responsible for billing each student for the appropriate charges as well as crediting grants, 贷款, and payments to the student’s bill. An email from the 财务主管的办公室 was sent to your student's Barnard email address to alert her to register for access to our Student Account Center.
While payment is the student's responsibility, we understand that parents and guardians often provide financial support. If you are a parent and want direct access to e-bills, ask your student to add you as an authorized user. We are not able to speak to anyone other than students concerning their student accounts without their specific authorization via the Student Account Center.
When your student receives her bill, you can review with your student both the charges and the payments being credited to ensure the amount due is correct. 的re are a number of different payment options available to families who have a balance to pay. Families can make online payments or enroll in a monthly payment plan. If you have questions about your bill, payment options, or being added as an authorized user, please contact the 财务主管的办公室.
