Academic records include that.
It’s premature to decide she can’t do anything.
Or that all but contacting the college would hit roadblocks. We’re talking getting more info tomorrow, not letting tis slide to Jan.

OP: An important question to ask is whether or not additional materials may be submitted during an appeal.
Or must all “evidence” be submitted prior to a decision being made by an initial review person or panel ?
And, of course, the standards applicable during the initial review, and the standard which is applied during any type of appeal of an adverse decision.
Most important, however, is to know precisely what your son wrote on the application, and the exact content of any other documents such as the recommendation and the disciplinary report.
Then, before acting further, consider whether or not you want to consult an attorney familiar with these type of reviews.
P.S. Don’t panic & do not rush into taking any action. The basic facts remain. Your son violated a school policy or rule, was caught and punished. There is nothing that you can do to change those facts.
Until a decision is rendered, you do not even know if you have a serious problem. While it is wise to be prepared for the worst, sometimes it is also wise to be patient.
In my view, it is a minor, forgivable transgression; but, my view doesn’t count.
I only used WL as an example of how to be proactive on solving a road block. We could have waited patiently to go through stack of thousands of WL applications or we could have made sure it was on top of the pile.
I also believe it is a minor issue, but it could be a big problem if it is not taken care of. OP’s son has a lot more incentive to get it resolved than the AOs. If the son was already at the college then the school would be obligated to resolve it, but not during the application stage.
@Publisher - you and I have different ways of handling problems. We will just agree to disagree.
It’s a minor infraction. I suggest contacting the AO. We found all the AO’s great and there is nothing better than getting information direct from an authoritative source.
Agree with @dubner . And I would think the principal’s letter would be helpful, so ask if and when it could be provided to the review.
OP, you and your son should talk to the GC and come to an agreement on how to proceed.
That this school actually gives you a look at its inner workings allows you to do this. At most schools, you wouldn’t even know because they do not make reasons why an application is on hold known to the applicant.
This would not be the first student your GC has had with disciplinary issues on record in the college process. Also, is this one of your state schools?
You and son might want to ask GC how this is usually handled and what happens in these cases.
But I thought the issue was the THC.
At this point, we need to hear from OP, what feedback from the hs or what’s transpired in the past 48 hours.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Since people are still debating and the OP has disappeared, I am closing the thread.
