You've contacted the deans appropriately and are considering Skype. You also asked her what she wants to do and got a clear reply, so I'll only add this..
I took this group of sentences from your last posting as important:

She truly does not want to leave college this semester. She just feels that her work is not up to standard, especially her father's high standards. Were she home, there would be little for her to do except fret, and wait.

Perhaps, then your role is to support her as much as possible that her decision is okay. If things were normal, she'd be achieving to a high standard, but things aren't normal. So teach her to adjust her expectations of herself.
My favorite phrase to people in such situations is, "Sometimes, to survive is to triumph."
Under the circumstances, if all she does is manage to hang in there for the term (that's her choice, as you said) then it doesn't matter what are the grades. The "proud of her achievements" dad would certainly understand that simply continuing on is a worthy "achievement."
I'm thinking you have to give her a way to accept her academic performance level and not beat herself up over THAT. Just bring down the expectations, or think of times when the Dad also recognized someone soldiering through when it was tough. She needs to tell herself that her Dad would be proud of her, regardless of the grades, this particular term.
My heart goes out to your entire family.
