St John's College Annapolis VS. University of Maryland

<p>I’m not a student, but in the absence of one I will respond with what I’ve been told by former SJC alumnus.</p>

<p>Sophomore enabling is an extended Don Rag. If a student is not participating in class, falling very hard behind in their studies or getting into frequent trouble with the administration then the school will not enable him to continue their studies for the following year. The student may, of course, apply for admission the next year and continue their studies (my teacher was friendly with a dis-enabled student during his time at Catholic University who continued his studies after a one year hiatus).</p>

<p>During my visit on campus the tour leader told me that dis-enabling is rare, but does happen to some every year. I would imagine that the school does not have freshman enabling because:</p>

<p>1) Students are still growing their freshman year, and they deserve time to grow inside the community, it would not be fair to dis-enable a student without at least one or two don rags.</p>

<p>2) Many students leave on their own accord freshman year without being dis-enabled.</p>

<p>Again I am not a SJC student so, take the info for what it is.</p>
