<p>My son just got suspended from school what happens to the money it just a lost. Can he go to another school before the suspension is up.</p>
<p>Did he get suspended from high school or college? If college, you have likely lost the money for this term as the refund dates have likely passed.</p>
<p>Depends on the policies of the school. </p>
<p>For instance, if one was suspended/expelled from my Catholic Elementary school, there were no refunds as the enrollment agreement assigns blame in that instance 100% on the student/parents.</p>
<p>I got suspended for College. That seems like a money maker then suspend the kids and we get money.</p>
<p>Can he attend another college</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So it’s actually you, not your son who got suspended?</p>
<p>Bree…make up your mind…are you the student or the parent. Only ONE of you should be using this account.</p>
<p>I would think the reason for the suspension would impact whether another school would accept you for admission.</p>
<p>Better question…what was the suspension for?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, most colleges…especially one’s at the same/higher ranking won’t accept a student for enrollment while they’re on suspension from their initial/previous college.</p>
<p>Regardless…you are not supposed to do things in college that get you suspended. This is NOT a money maker…this is a screw up on your part. The money is gone because YOU did something significant. Schools don’t suspend kids for no reason.</p>
<p>There is suspension and expulsion as far as I know. Suspension means you can return to school after a specified amount of time. Expulsion means you were asked to leave the school permanently. Which is it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s also the possibility he/she was suspended because of mistakes/misjudgments/political* on the administration’s part. Granted, those tend to be few and far between.</p>
<ul>
<li>I knew of an alum from a college who is now well-known and embraced as an alum made good who ended up graduating elsewhere because the then more conservative administration at the first college suspended and later, expelled him for being involved in campus anti-war protests during the Vietnam War period.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, this student will be required to provide transcripts when he applies to any other college. The transcript will clearly show the suspension…and withdrawn courses.</p>
<p>Another issue. Is this student receiving financial aid…because if that is needed, with a full semester of withdrawals, it is very likely that he is not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (sap) and would be intelligible for aid until that is reconciled.</p>
<p>Sorry…but at most schools now there is a significant appeals process BEFORE a student is actually suspended.</p>
<p>Why would anyone transfer because of a suspension? He has the option to sit it out and return.</p>
<p>Does OP really mean, say, take cc classes during the suspension period? That would depend on the first college’s policies re credits.</p>
<p>the parent</p>
<p>He was in a fight the spring semester in the gym, not sure if the other person is a student or not, but he was banned from the gym then. when he went back to the school he went in the gym worked out and that was it . the police ran a log as to who has een in the gym and saw his name or card had been scanned and arrested him for trespassing. Now he is suspended for two semester he can never go back into the gym and he can never stay on campus again.</p>
<p>In those circumstances it would seem advisable to transfer. In answer to your original question about the funds, my thought is that they would not be refundable pursuant to the terms of your enrollment contract. I would simply call the registrar or bursar’s office and ask the question.</p>
<p>Unless there was some vagueness about the length of his banishment from the gym, he doesn’t seem to have a leg to stand on. I have little sympathy for a person who gets into fights and then ignores the penalties. Rather than suspending him as a “moneymaker,” it seems to me that they need him off campus for the safety of other people, since he apparently cannot control himself and doesn’t think the rules apply to him. Sounds like he may have some work to do before he applies to other schools.</p>
<p>Call the bursar or registrar.</p>
<p>Awfully confusing when info only comes in short dribs and drabs.</p>
<p>I think there is more to this story to get completely banned from the gym and etc.</p>
<p>A lot of this needs clarification if you want feedback. Can never “stay” on campus means what, ie, not live there- ? or he cannot go on campus until his suspension ends and the matter is final reviewed, for closure? Because if he can never return, that would be an aspect of expulsion.</p>
<p>And, do you want classes during this down time or a transfer to a new college? If he wants a transfer, he needs to see if the college will release transcripts and other info and on what schedule, so he can complete an app.</p>
<p>If you mean will another college take him, that depends. Many kids need to take some cc classes and show their focus and maturity, to overcome a disciplinary record.</p>
<p>Just what do you mean?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter whether the other person is a student or not. If he was a student who was involved in a fight and especially if they found he was equally at fault in the fight or worse, started it, the gym is well within their rights to ban him from the premises. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s just utter stupidity on his part. If he’s officially banned from entering a given venue and he went anyway, he bears 100% of the fault for the arrest and suspension. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>While it’s worth a shot, under the circumstances…I wouldn’t hold my breath.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Transfer’s usually a non-starter as most colleges won’t accept a transfer student who isn’t in good academic and/or disciplinary standing with his/her previous college.</p>
<p>As for taking college classes as a non-matriculating student, I’d carefully look at the conditions of the suspension as taking such classes during the suspension period may itself be a violation of those conditions. </p>
<p>Most suspension letters I’ve heard/seen from close friends and an older cousin had a specific stipulation that they WERE NOT TO TAKE ANY CLASSES during the suspension period. </p>
<p>I figured they expected them to take a regular job of some sort while thinking about their suspension and what led up to it.</p>
