<p>Today I saw my daughters term bill for fall....tonight when I log in its gone, there is only summer semester to choose.??? Anyone know what happened?</p>
<p>It’s there now.</p>
<p>I just checked and there still is only summer 2011. If I an remember correctly, they usually come out at the end of the month.</p>
<p>ah, mine just vanished, too. I printed it out before it vanished.</p>
<p>How do you access your child’s account? Mine will be a freshman and has told me I cannot have her password.</p>
<p>No password = no cash. Of any kind. Really though, I don’t remember how it works; I might get a billing email delivered to my address when my son gets his email.</p>
<p>I think it is important that you have access to your child’s Rutgers email as some important information comes through that you may want to be aware of.</p>
<p>As an example: my son has not checked his email since classes ended. I looked and found an email regarding the health insurance waiver, which I completed and so I am not being billed for Rutgers health insurance.</p>
<p>Additionally: I saw the email regarding financial aid, but thought nothing of it since we are not accepting any loans. I didn’t realize I had to go in and actually decline the loan. I just saw the credit on his term bill and I went back to the original email and logged onto the financial aid award letter to correct the amount being accepted. (This probably happened last year too, but I forgot. Hey, I am old.)</p>
<p>When so much money is at stake, I think you need to be allowed access to the information, unless your daughter is exceptionally prompt, responsible, and financially sophisticated.</p>
<p>That is if your children is willing to allow you access with their Rutgers NetID. All matters regarding financial aid can be checked and verified via Social Security and Pin, no NET ID required. You should occasionally check both studentaid.rutgers.edu and studentabc.rutgers.edu to see if everything is in balance in terms of term bill and declining/accept loans. All of these can be done via SSN and pin which is assigned seperately than NET ID. </p>
<p>NET ID serves as a crucial individual privacy matter to individual university students. Legally speaking, your child is not obligated to share with you even their grade or transcript at a university level, especially Eden emails. I know some parents who check their child’s grade because they have access to child’s NET ID, and it is strictly illegal. I know as a parent, you want the best for your kid, and checking for imperative information is one of them, but it can be done without NET ID. That’s why Rutgers separated such access with SSN/PIN and NET ID. One for the parent and one for the student.</p>
<p>“I know some parents who check their child’s grade because they have access to child’s NET ID, and it is strictly illegal.” Did they hack into her account or did she share her password with them? It’s not illegal if it’s ok with her.</p>
<p>Neither, the daughter gave her parents the NET ID under the understanding that they were using it to check imperative emails and announcements. However, the parents realized that there is an academic tab on My Rutgers page.</p>
<p>My child has his emails forwarded to his email account outside of Rutgers, so you cant see what has come in, but he does forward many onto me as he wants me to handle them for him. In regards to having access to his My Rutgers Account, it was our understanding when he left for college that as long as I was footing the bill I had a right to see/verify his grades, etc. If he wasn’t going to take college seriously, he could come home and go to college in state. Our agreement was verbal, but his roommate last year who was a local had a written contact with his parents as to what they were entitled to see and information to be provided as long as they were paying.</p>
<p>My daughter gives me her netid access. She wants to be sure I can see all important emails - access financial aid - her RUexpress, etc. She has no issue with me looking at her grades because she knows the importance. She pays for part of her education and realizes what it costs. There is a mutual respect between us - I don’t read personal emails. She has no legal obligation to give me access but out of respect she does.</p>
<p>@ Cali19 and Jerseygirl5, </p>
<p>By no means am I implying what you are doing is illegal or immoral, of course if your child consent to it, it is all ok. </p>
<p>I was speaking on the generalization of a person who I knew didn’t consent the <em>academic</em> part to her parents, but only the emails part, but her parents decided to breach anyway. </p>
<p>I 100% agree that if you are paying for your child’s education, you are entitled to see how they are doing.</p>
