OP ignore the trolls
Of course they can restart Community college and honestly its great Their gpa restarts so yay . Then they reapply to a four year school after completing a AA degree. They will not be returning to the college they failed out of. |

Others have cited some options - enlist in the military, enroll in community college, learn a trade through a union apprenticeship program, get an unskilled job and see what can be made of it. However, the best path forward is likely dependent upon the reason for the failure to adapt to and succeed in college. The child was admitted, so presumably had the academic background judged necessary for success by the college when the admission decision was made. The failure to deliver on that potential is what seems critical to focus on, since the factors which contributed to that outcome may impact the potential for success in other environments.

| Hugs. I'm sure you're disappointed and your child might feel ashamed but life is full of disappointments and setbacks. Hopefully, they will learn to take responsibility for the issue and keep moving forward - whether that means leaving college or using one of many tools to work through the issue (counseling, ADHD meds, changing majors, living at home, taking fewer classes). This happens all the time and people don't talk about it. He or she will be able to move forward but will not be returning to that college. |

| Why did they fail out? Drugs, alcohol, partying, didn’t go to class, couldn’t keep up academically? |

No, it doesn’t. Chapman U sent my cousin packing because of grades, attitude and performance. Chapman said it would reconsider but only if she took certain courses at a community college and got certain grades. |

| expect future 4-year colleges to ask if he was ever dismissed, suspended, disciplined, on academic probation, etc. It's not a total bar to getting admitted somewhere else but they are going to want to see that he worked on himself and has taken steps so this won't reoccur. |

| Happened to me, I just want ready socially/emotionally. I DID move out of my parents house and get a full time job- working bookstore retail for 4 years. That was enough for me to understand that if I wanted a different life I’d need to go back to school- so I did. It took me 6 years to finish my undergraduate work, but I also got a job at my university to get a more professional-level career started, then I went on to get my MA. I am still “behind” some of my peers professionally, but only just barely. It was a longer road, but one I’m incredibly proud of as I did it with no parental monetary assistance, but plenty of pep talks. |

Reassure your kid it is not the end of the world but he needs to work on the underlying issues.
Let him get a job and let him figure out what he wants to do next. |
