[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None. My son even got a 1.8 his 1st semester.

He knew what he needed to do to stay in college.

Did your DS tell you their GPA?

We asked DS to allow us to see their bills (since we pay for it with the 529), grades and sign the HIPPA for us to see his medical records just in case something happens. They didn't bat an eye about it.  DS is a high stats kid; always has been.   I think we did it out of habit, tbh, because  DS is a pretty responsible kid who cares a lot about his grades, probably more than us.

We will set the same level of expectations for younger DC, who is not as high stats.  This DC also has anxiety, so if we see grades slipping semester after semester, we know to intervene.

As for going to class every session, no, we don't have a requirement.  DS even tell us that he doesn't bother with x class because the professor posts everything online, and he's gotten a pretty high A in the class last semester, at least.  I will say that recently, DS got a low B in one of his classes for the midterms, so I said something like, "Maybe you oughtta go to class more often.", to which responded, "Yea, I probably will now".  Learned that the hard way and was a bit over confident there.[/quote]
