You will receive a letter with your son's report card with instruction on how to make your appointments if needed.

Please note that all tuition and fees (including ancillary fees) must be current for your son to receive first quarter grades. Please log into your FACTs account to ensure that you are not past due. If you have any questions, please contact Kristi Schwalbach at kschwalbach@covcath.org.

SENIOR PARENTS

A representative from Herff Jones/Graduate Service met with the seniors. They were given a packet of information concerning graduation announcements. Ask your son for the packet. The students completed an information card used to order their gowns and measured their heads for the caps. There is no need for you to order cap, gown, nor tassel. They are ordered and paid for by CovCath and will be distributed at the first graduation practice in May.
