[quote=Anonymous]And, yes, 12:03 is correct about dropping classes if you are working thru ODS.  Usually there is a cut-off after which you cannot get any fees back (this is an in-state school, but not community college).  However, if you work with ODS they will advise how many units they think your child can handle the next term and give you input as to what kind of teacher and course will be involved.  We have learned that DS has great skills with memorization and fill-in-the-blank and project evaluations but writing a term paper is very difficult because there is just too much stuff going on in his head.  So ODS will help you avoid the professors who have set up their courses in such a way that your child will have greatly difficulty.  And, yes, if you find your child is just falling apart, you usually can drop out even after the regular drop without a fee penalty (but they don't like it).  This term we started with a 13 unit load but knew we were facing a very tough year in an advanced foreign language.  So far, so good.  but we are paying for private tutors to work with DS on weekends in that subject.[/quote]
