[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all for your advice. He wasn’t functioning and failed to turn in assignments, and he wasn’t aware of his mental health issue until he had a breakdown and was admitted in hospital. He is taking time off from school now, getting treatment and volunteering in animal shelters, both have been going very well, but I know he worries about his GPA as he is aiming for vet school. Normally he would approach his dean and discuss his options, but mentally he’s not ready yet. Hence I am asking here to get some info before I talk to the dean on his behalf. I’ll support him for any career decisions but honestly I’d hate to see him give up on his dream. [/quote]

Be very cautious and humble when you speak to the dean on his behalf. Don’t come off like a pushy helicopter mom. Remember you are asking for an accommodation of some kind that they don’t have to give you.

I am curious - was it just an F in one class, or did he do poorly across the board? If just one class, why would a mental health issue affect just one class?[/quote]

Thanks for your advice. Yes he got all "A"s except this one "F". When ADHD takes Independent Study whiling starting college a thousand miles away from home, this happens. We all learned our lessons. [/quote]
