Default How to get reinstate for out-of-status for F1?

A friend of mine was admitted as F1 student in Arts School in San Francisco.
He was enrolled full time for the last two years until last semester only 6
credit hours because two of his classes was canceled. The school official
told him that two of his classes was canceled but didn't remind him that he
still need to be full time at all time. Anyway, school official don't care
to make sure he carrying a full load 12 credits, but he was short only 6
credits.

Now, the school official wanted him to get re-instatement for his F1 visa
before letting him go back to school again. BUT, the school don't want him
to get re-instatement instead the school will give him a new I-20 and he
need to apply for a new F1 visa from his country. That's would be
Indonesia.......

Question:
How to get re-instatement if the school don't want to give any
recommendation for re-instatement of his F1. He is out of luck... the only
thing he can do is - apply a new F1 from Indonesia again, right? Any other
suggestion?

Thanks much.

John

Why is it the school's duty to "remind" anyone what they are supposed
to know?

He can try to put more pressure on the school to reconsider its decision to
refuse to assist him with a request for reinstatement. He should get a
faculty member, or better still the Chair of his department, on his side.
He should ask for a meeting with him, and the faculty member, and the
Director of the international office, and press strongly to obtain the
school's help with reinstatement.

The fact is that any application for an F-1 visa in Indonesia may very will
be denied, and he may lose his chance at completing his education in the
U.S.

Also, this is the very type of reason that INS will accept fairly easily as
an explanation for violating status.
