No doubt college chem is much harder than HS chem. Just from my own DD experience, it is really important to reach out for help and talk to her command. Otherwise she may find herself at a PRB. My DD ended up on probation through rotc twice. Her biggest mistake was not reaching out for help...

At the end of Fall 2019 semester my mid fell .04 below required gpa, while already on academic probation for nrotc. (that semester there were numerous issues, including death in the family, change in major). My mid felt that it was over and enlistment was the preferred option when faced with a...

As the mom of a mid who faced 2 PRB's due to academics, if you are able to get enough posts to private message me, I would be more than happy to chat about it. The above responses are great resources, as you and your son should read the regs thoroughly. I think there is also something else to...

Thank you very much for the clarification.. I appreciate it, and hope my mid is done with any more PRB’s!! :)

being realistic, I don't think it is explained that way to them, but even if it is, they have teen brain still, so to speak, and it may not truly register! Just send him a link to the post, or just copy and paste it to send him. Best of luck. I would, however, advise that heaven forbid he...

As recap, my mid had .07 below GPA needed this fall, while already on probation for the same issue last spring semester. There were numerous mitigating factors for the marks, but not relevant here and now. After the PRB, my mid was placed on LOA. Thankfully, my mid was exemplary mid with...

OK- if he gets disenrolled, it is from the NROTC, not the university. That generally means he will be required to pay back all monies expended on him for schooling, training, books, stipends, etc which will be tallied up after the disenrollment process and in my opinion, you are given a...

As an aside, depending on the university, you may need approval from the department head in mids current school, if you plan on taking classes at a different school. I don't know if that is the plan, but I know my mid was able to fit in a class at another university in summer, but had to get...

As another mom with mid in same position elsewhere, have you filed FASFA? I contacted the office of financial aid at the school, and completed a FASFA for both my mid and myself. (which I hadn't needed before, so was told to do asap for them to consider any help with tuition) Then, our school...

As a parent, I can only surmise what 'went wrong' My mid started out with a ChemE major, which was changed to a plain science one! However, the school attended is a very tough grading uni that does not curve any grades. So for example on a Biostatistics exam, the highest grade for that class...

Unfortunately the cumulative is .07 below, and semester .27. My mid is preparing statement etc, to request LOA, as at this juncture I doubt another probationary period would be offered. (But I hope that mid would be able to discuss this with direct co prior to the hearing). My question then...

Thanks. I figured it’s a long shot. But ya never know! Not optimistic about chances for LOA, as even if it’s granted it becomes a waiting game praying for better grades in spring mid can pull through. It just stinks bc timing. Without going too much details lot of outside family issues...

My guess is it may be too late. Just trying to help mid with plan of action, whether to request LOA (knowing it is not a guarantee) or enlistment as first option. Mid has 1.5 years left of school if continues spring semester with $$$ loans (there is no way will be afforded another probation...

There are some good answers here to consider. I might chime in with another. You don’t know what the future brings- we all have high expectations that our children will succeed academically. However you don’t know how she will manage in a college environment either with or without rotc. A...

The unfortunate thing is that even if there were a cross town public school (there is not), in order to transfer the gpa would have to be higher, and then the mid would be behind the 8-ball to graduate on time if not all the credits are accepted. There is also no guarantee that they would...
