My DD's school (UC) says you have to maintain a B average for the year.

Talk to your college counselor and see if the suspension will show up on the transcript (they usually don’t). Then check the college’s policy on reporting discipline. Most schools have backed off strict policies about discipline. It varies, but some only require reporting ethical (cheating) and criminal incidents. If a kid got suspended for participating in the senior prank or whatever (assuming it wasn’t criminal), they’re probably fine.


Not criminal. Just really stupid and juvenile.


Do schools suspend for stupid and juvenile? I think we usually see schools trying really hard to avoid suspension, even for really hurtful incidents.

If they're imposing an actual transcript-worthy penalty, that suggests to me that the student really crossed a firm line in an institution where most lines are squidgy.

I hope so? Conduct needs to be pretty bad for a suspension.

Don’t sweat it.

I know a 20 year old who failed senior year of high school, dropped out after Christmas, worked a string of food service and retail jobs while she got her GED, and is headed to a SLAC this fall like she graduated on time at the top of her class.

No one really cares about senior year. Even a rescind is likely only temporary.

Rescinding is very uncommon, as much as it gets talked about constantly this time of year. It usually is for kids who literally stop handing in work and completing assignments.

True. Last year my kid got a B+ his last semester of HS. Lowered his GPA to 3.96UW.


Are you for real, PP?

They are, and they get the BEST PARENT award. Let’s all clap.

My kid will end up with a D for calculus on transcript. He is clearly not trying to be a math major. Hoping his big state school doesnt have the time to comb through each transcript.

It is rare for a college to resind.

Two cs and a d nope that’s passing they won’t care

More than one D yes some colleges will rescind

A F might mean they don’t graduate and yes any F grades strong chance rescind

Cs get degrees no college cares .
