Term for student who was thrown out of university?
Is there a term or even a noun for a student who was thrown out of college/universite etc.?
I want to emphasize that he was willing to continue, but was dismissed permanently (e.g. due to severely breaking rules). He may never return.
- "Failed student" or the like implies that the student failed some tests, which is not the case here.
- "Dropout" seems to imply that he simply dropped out voluntarily, e.g. due to lack of interest.
Expelled, as in the student was expelled from university. It's basically a crossover of the concepts of suspension or expulsion from high school
EDIT: I should probably point out that Rusticated would have been my first choice (had I remembered it) and it's actually the prescribed word for the concept. Moonstar2001 is bang on here
Sent down is the term used at the old English universities.
Any of these:
Expelled
Debarred
Rusticated
