[quote=Anonymous]Is he already living off campus with a lease expiring in the summer? Did you co-sign? And have you all already signed for next year? Might be hard to get out of or find someone to take over the lease.If so, I’d let him go back and he must get a job.

I also would sit down with him and see what classes he’s completed, what he needs to graduate and what classes he’s can take online at the community college? Is there some type of certificate or semester long training program he can finish at the community college that gives him a trade? Find out what is real plan is.

This might not be a popular opinion but some students still need parental help way past high school. I would insist on a weekly check in call that is mandatory where you discuss grades and assignments due (actually have him log in and show you class info), discuss work and his activities, offer suggestions toward improvement.

Not knowing what school he is at, maybe encourage him to transfer closer to home for fall 2026 or have him work and do school at night.[/quote]
