To think college’a should still formally exclude

[User40407]

While I know colleges in the uk don’t have the same government guidelines as schools. Aibu to think if they say a student can’t come to college they should have a formal reason from their behaviour policy and send a letter out?

I would have thought that the college should have behaviour and exclusion policies that should be followed. What age are you talking?

Just turned 18

It depends on the circumstances. Yes, ideally the behaviour policy ought to cover the reason for the exclusion, but it could conceivably be related to a breach of the law that happens not to be in the policy, and whilst that might be an oversight, they might be on sounder ground excluding according to their own judgement and/or legal advice.

Why have they said he/she can't come in? There's not enough info to assess if they should've given a more formal response.
You're not welcome here you headbutted the principal, probably doesn't warrant a follow up letter, just a visit from police. Neither does you're on track to fail every exam this summer, we've discussed your lack of effort many times and tried to support you but you've not addressed it, so we won't be enrolling you for next year.

It's probably rather more urgent and considerably more important to find out the reason, and encourage the young adult to deal with it.

Rather than get side-tracked by details of means of communication. The student is surely all too aware of the issues, but may be reluctant to let on. They may well have sat on written warnings etc. But it hasn't gone away; and they need to learn from it and work out what to do next
