<p>Friends son was ill most of freshmen year. Fevers, sore throats, etc… Ended up coming home Thanksgiving to get tonsils out. Difficult recovery. Got back to school the week before finals with poor prep, missed work while out sick during the semester. </p>
<p>Profs gave no incompletes. Lost financial aid, etc… Friend called the dean (or similar) and was told nothing they can do. Up to individual teacher. </p>
<p>Sorry to hear about your friend.</p>
