Do NOT empty your 401k and remortgage your house. Go back to USC financial aid and explain them your situation. If you still don't get the money your son needs from USC financial aid, be honest with your son. You need to protect your retirement and house.
Your son can take a year off to work if need be or transfer to a state school. If he is lucky, he will get a job with an employer who can help finance grad school.
