[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -are you sure they already haven’t been asked to leave? This happened to a cousin -she was told to leave her Slav because of grades in a foreign language and for failure to attend school. She was given a letter outlining the terms under which she could return. Her parents weren’t told (FERPA) and the kid moved out of the dorm in with friends and pretended to her parents that she was still attending. Her parents would have never found out except that someone opened a letter from the college mailed to her home (where she was supposed to be).[/quote]

Did the parents pay for college?  [/quote]

Doesn’t matter under FERPA. Colleges don’t want to deal with parents. That’s why both of mine signed the FERPA waiver. And yes parents were paying for everything and spending money not knowing she was living now in an off campus apartment doing nothing[/quote]

Did the parent pay tuition to the school? What happened to that money? It's hard to believe the school would just pocket it for someone who wasn't enrolled.[/quote]

Yes, parents paid. And there were modest student loans. After the child failed to go to class and got poor grades she was told to leave but given a list of prerequidites to return, which included going to community college and maintaining a certain grade in certain courses. The student had finished one or two terms so there was nothing to refund.[/quote]
