He can't. The veiled mentions of "holds" on his records prevent him from transferring, because the University will not release a transcript until he submits to their punishment. No transcript, no transfer.

Extortion.

  Business as usual, unfortunately.

    So he takes legal action. I'm sure the University will love the publicity that goes with that!

      Yeah, but the Florida law is pretty clear. Schools can do this legally te court of public opinion might be a better strategy.

If I were him I wouldn't bother with transferring my transcript. College education isn't worth a flip if you already know how to code and can demonstrate it by making a decent app like he did. I dropped out of college because I made my own app and started getting two job offers a month from decent startups looking for developers. I'm sure this kid will be getting job offers from the press coverage of this. If I were him I wouldn't waste time with school, especially from such a dated and ignorant institution when he could be getting better real life experience. Long story short I'd hire him, and if I were him I'd leave that school without a single backward glance.

  It looks like he outsourced the coding: http://ucouldfinish.com/conduct/ http://ucouldfinish.com/conduct/ Regardless, this is a kid that can get things done.
