What hasn’t he done before? He certainly knows how to read his email, understand what the school needs from him, and log into the portal to do it. If he has questions, he knows he can ask. It’s not like we would refuse to help him. Clearly, I spent most of the fall doing just that.
I have been nudging repeatedly over the last few months to reinforce the importance of reading emails. He chooses not to do it. In fact, just this week, I gently told him that things like housing deposits or roommate requests might need to be done as early as possible if he wants optimal choice, and he replies with “I do things at the last minute, it works for me.” And walked away.
Unfortunately, his current top choice school does not send communications to parents - only the student - so I won’t be aware of everything. It will require proactivity on his part.
If he needs help with individual tasks related to financials, registration, etc. we will obviously help him. But at some point, it’s got to be on him. And he may have some painful lessons to learn. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just my perspective.
