PrepHQ
Your parents often have questions about
college, GPA and Class Rank, and by giving
them your username and password to
PrepHQ it is very helpful.
If a parent calls and requests access to a
student account because their son/daughter
has not given him/her the username and/or
password, the Guidance Counselor WILL
change the password so that the parent can
access the account and it is then the
responsibility of the student to get the new
password from the parent.
