Hi, We don't have a single policy. For the most part, enrolled students under 18 are treated as regular students, unless there is a law that requires a different action. For example, signing a housing contract will require a parent or guardian: https://www.oakland.edu/housing/apply/ Anything that is a contract (like a payment plan) might need review.
Parents need to sign a consent for treatment at the health center: https://www.oakland.edu/ghc/checklist/ You might find FERPA guidelines useful: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/faq.html#q7 "If a student is attending a postsecondary institution - at any age - the rights under FERPA have transferred to the student. However, in a situation where a student is enrolled in both a high school and a postsecondary institution, the two schools may exchange information on that student. If the student is under 18, the parents still retain the rights under FERPA at the high school and may inspect and review any records sent by the postsecondary institution to the high school." That is the foundation for our "just like anyone else" process.
