Parents and primary educators can track their student’s progress in online and self-paced courses from the student view within the Schoology Parent account.  Note that the student view in the parent’s Schoology account does not have the same permissions as a student’s personal Kolbe Schoology account. To learn more about Schoology student accounts, visit the Student Schoology Account Settings and Notifications article.

 

Parent vs. Student Schoology Accounts

A parent and a student each receive their own separate Schoology accounts.  While a parent can navigate through their student’s courses from the “student view” of the parent’s account, the “student view” does not have permission to submit assignments.  If a student cannot submit an assignment to an online or self-paced plus course, the student should verify that he is signed into his personal Schoology student account.
