If someone is kicked out of uni will they be able to reapply

Will they be able to apply to a different uni without the first one knowing they were expelled. This isn’t related to academics but somebody being expelled due to drugs, racism and other misconduct. They’ve been expelled from their current uni. Will they be able to reapply next year without the new uni knowing? They’re a home student with funding through student finance if that’s relevant. To be clear I’m not a parent to this person and do not condone their actions.

If you are hoping that they aren't and you know what uni you could give their admissions team a heads up.

If they don’t want to transfer any academic credits to their new course and don’t state that they’ve previously been at another university in their application, no. Student Finance is separate to university applications, and they don’t get detail about why a student has left their course, either.

It’s not your child, so I’d keep out of it. This person is an adult, albeit a young one who’ll make stupid mistakes along the way to being fully grown up: if they’re stupid enough to repeat these offences again if given a second chance by another university then that’s on them.

They should think very carefully about jumping into reapplying and consider if a gap year or two to mature might be better than potentially repeating the same or similar mistakes elsewhere and using up all their remaining funding.

Feeling sorry for themselves for getting kicked out is not the same as being remorseful for and taking ownership of their behaviour and recognising how it came about. A year or two out working might help them sort out whatever is going on in their head.

Not sure. Depending on the point at which they got kicked out, they may struggle to get student finance to cover a whole new course.

If they want to transfer credits, I imagine that some info might be shared by the original university which could result in any applications being declined.

I would hope that there is something in place that blocks them from going to another university, honestly. It doesn't sound like they're worthy of a place, and other students should be protected from this kind of conduct.

They can re-apply for the course but they won't be able to apply for another student loan.

What do l do? After 3 months like lies, l learned this weekend my daughter has dropped out of uni because she refused to submit a final single lab report. She lives in student accommodation in Manchester and l am the guarantor and the ex and have been paying her rent for 3 months. Should l withdraw as guarantor to force her to take responsibility for her actions. My ex and family say yes, l can’t afford to pay it any longer and not sure if l trust her to apply for benefits or get a job. She is my blind spot

They can start from scratch so to speak. Basically don't mention the last uni. I think?
But if they're being racist and selling drugs then surely the new Uni will also boot them out?
If they've got the entry grades for the course and the funding then they won't be barred from ever attending HE institutions again. I'd be more concerned as to whether they were suited to it due to their behaviour.
Could they do OU or distance learning?

I don't think "withdrawing as guarantor" is possible as otherwise it would be worthless as everyone would withdraw as soon as the person they're guarantor for defaulted.

I'm afraid you're liable for your daughter's rent until the end of her contracted period, although she could try to find someone else to take over her tenancy and move home. You need yo urgently have a serious chat with her.

If UK uni at this point in the year she won't be kicked out for non submission of a piece of work.

She needs to decide if she wants to continue or not. If yes she needs to speak to her uni student support and her tutor to help her get back on track.

She'll be considered at the next exam boards and likely given opportunity to resubmit for a capped mark. If there are particular circumstances that triggered her to have issues then she may be eligible for special considerations and so should apply as soon as possible. Resubmissions may be uncapped if spec cons are approved.
