[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 711018, member: 19887"] The first time my son dropped out of univ I helped him get doctors notes, etc so his failing marks would be removed. The second time, I again helped him. The last time ....he lost all the money and has Fs on his transcript and is officially kicked out due to two terms on academic probabtion. At this point he can't go back until time has passed. I think it's one or two years, but the failing marks are now permanent. I feel badly for him, but I wasn't going to do it for him again. I guess because I too had a bad term my first year at university, I was 17 years old and ended up on academic pribabtion my first year of engineering, and I've paid the price even thirty years later! When I applied for my masters degree, I had a 4.0 in my education degree (second degree on top of an engineering one) I had to explain what my 17 year old self was doing way back in 1987! So knowing how my one year of bad choices has followed me all the way to my 40s I felt strongly about this. At this point I don't know if he will ever go back so does it even matter???? Hard to let them fall on their face but I think the school is right. They have to do it. [/QUOTE]
