To follow-up on the suggestion that this scenario needs to change for the benefit of both you and your daughter,

- It does not matter if you have already paid for the spring semester as it has not started and you could contact the appropriate office - start with registrar to explain the situation and get the right forms to have your daughter withdraw.  This will save you a boat load of money you worked hard for and WOULD BE THROWING DOWN AN EMPTY HOLE FOR HER.

- You are only giving her the opportunity to have more of a record of academic failure which will permanently be a part of her record as she turns things around.  Cut her losses, too.

- The funds you receive back may well be better spent for possible counseling for you on how to deal with your daughter, for her if she needs it and would go career assessment, community college class, technical training, or as she turns things around assisting with buying a basic car or apartment deposit........ any and all of these things would be possible if not wasted on partying out of town at an expensive college for another few months.

- I can well understand that you probably just want her out of the house and out f your hair at times;BUT think of where you will be sending her to carefully and the bigger 
mess which might have to be dealt with.

She really needs a good strong dose of "real life" with some clear guidelines set.  You need a good strong dose of "Tough Love" to have the strength to give it to her.[/quote]
