[quote=Anonymous]OP:  my kid was in this situation.  Went into a math class that was a level above where he should have been.  By the time he figured it out, he was able to Withdraw as passing, but not add/drop. So, he underload Ed by a credit without permission. He got academic probation because of this (with a 3.6), but kept merit. He had to have a Dean sign off on his classes, and meet with the Dean again at midterms and that was that.

Oberlin, of that matters. But, they have a lot of policies in place that encourage kids to take classes that stretch them, so it turns out they don’t pull merit aid for one academic screwup.

I panicked when I realized what happened and called financial aid. They assured me all was well (whew!).

I’d like to think a school wouldn’t pull merit aid over something like this. But, the only way to know for your specific school is to call. They aren’t going to just not notice an unapproved underload. It will show up. So quit worrying and find out. [/quote]
