Grades
Siena Heights University does not mail grade reports. The On-line Registration system is the official site
for your mid-term and final grades. You should be able to view your grades as soon as the professor
inputs them to the computer system on the On-line Registration module. Click on "My Siena" and sign on
to On-line Web Registration. Click on the Grades button. Please make sure you have the correct
semester and year selected for the semester grades you want to view. If your parents would like to see
your grades, you will need to share your grades with them. The officials of Siena Heights University are
not allowed to share grades with parents unless the student gives permission or unless the student has declared as a dependent student. Siena Heights University follows all regulations as set forth by the Federal
Educational Rights to Privacy Act of 1974. For any question concerning this policy or law please contact
the Registrar's Office or consult the current academic catalog.

Proficiency.
Student Loan Deferment Processing
Siena Heights University participates in the National Student Loan Clearinghouse located in Herndon,
Virginia. Siena Heights University submits a report of students' enrollment status to the Clearinghouse
that, in turn, supplies verification of enrollment to lending agencies. All enrollment information is
forwarded to the Clearinghouse. Siena Heights University does not supply this information directly to
leading agencies except by deferment.
If a student has registered late or has had an exception processed to the term registration, this
information may not be reported until the submission of the next tape. The Clearinghouse asks that if a
student receives a collection letter from a servicer, the student do the following.
Clearinghouse directions for the student:
- Call the lending agency to see if a deferment form was received between the time the Clearinghouse
supplied the information and when the lending agency sent the collection letter.
- If, after calling the servicer, it still appears that the deferment has not been processed, the student
may call the Clearinghouse at (703) 742-7791 and ask for a Student Service Representative. The
representative will verify the following information: the date on which the deferment form was
received by the Clearinghouse, the date the deferment was certified, the date the form was mailed,
the enrollment status that was certified, and where the form was sent.
- If an emergency exists-for example, the student is 150 days delinquent and being threatened with
default-the Clearinghouse will intervene on the student's behalf by faxing another enrollment
certification to the servicer. Further, it will work with the servicer to ensure that the form is processed
on a high-priority basis.
NOTE: The student can also supply the Registrar's Office with the correct deferment form and mailing
address. The office will process this form for you.
