Does anyone know the Army ROTC guidelines for the following: My son takes 14 hours and would like to drop a 4 hour course due to it being very challenging and potentially hurtful to his GPA (he should get an A or B in his other classes). This would bring him down to 10 earned credit hours for the semester (his first at the university). The university is OK with this, but would the AROTC approve this?
He will be changing majors and this "weed out" class issue will likely not arise again.
So the question is...would AROTC approve for a contracted 4 year scholarship freshman cadet a course withdrawl which would bring him down to 10 hours. Ironically, one of the classes he is NOT dropping changes to 6 hours of credit once the semester is over, but if you look at his university account today it says his course load is 14 credit hours instead of 17.
In other words, for today's purposes, this withdraw would bring him to 10 hours. However, after successful completion of one of his 3 hour classes this semester, he gains an additional three hours after the semester is over which means technically speaking he would have retroactively earned 13 credit hours still for the semester.
Thank you!!
