Hi – I have a son that wants to go back to college to get a second degree after not being able to find a job using his first degree. He was accepted to a local state school near us last semester but never committed nor did he ask to defer his admission, and now he’s missed both the application and registration deadlines for the semester that will start in January. (Long story why.) It appears he’s also missed deadlines even for the local community colleges. Has anybody else been through this? I know he’ll have to call the admissions department for local colleges when they are back from the holidays, but I’m just seeking to understand what he might hear in the meantime.

Thanks for your help!
