Yes, a college student who is claimed as a dependent on their parents' tax return can still receive a refund if they have earned income and file their own tax return. If their income is below the taxable threshold or if they qualify for tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, they may receive a refund even though they are a dependent. However, the dependent status affects their eligibility for certain tax credits.

In the US, unfortunately no.
A commuting student (as compared to a resident student) lives off campus (frequently with parents) and commutes to college or university.
No.
Once a student is 18, college transcripts are not longer available to parents. As a college consultant, I usually suggest parents have an honest discussion with their child about how they will know what kind of grades the student in making. Unless a student requests a transcript or allows you into an online account, you will just have to trust their word.www.collegedirection.org
