My DS just informed me that he is being disenrolled.
He is an Army MS4 scholarship cadet but will not be able to graduate in time. He changed majors in his 2nd year from a general degree to a science degree. His commander was the one who actually recommended it. His previous commander recommended the change, and said that he would be able to get an education extension. He has had some GPA issues overall (but as a physics major) and lost his scholarship due to grades related to his Spring 2016 semester. His grades where fine for Fall 2017 and he was expecting his scholarship to be reinstated etc. He was told he is being disenrolled because he won't graduate in time and they declined to give him an extension. He hasn't had discipline or APFT issues at all.
He has been told that he can either enlist or pay back the Army. His first though is to enlist as he still wants to have a military career. His cadre was very confused though on his options. They told him they thought he would enlist as an E4 but be flagged for 4 years preventing promotion or an opportunity to go any schools or anything. They also didn't know if he could repay the scholarship and enlist with no flags. They also didn't know if he could eventually try to commission via OCS if he graduated fine with proper grades ect. His BTN commander really likes him and even offered to write him a letter of recommendation.
So does anyone know what the possibilities are? He isn't making excuses for the situation he is in, or trying to fight the Army's decision, just trying to figure out the best path forward.
Thanks for your input!
