I have just checked my dictionaries. Michealis (Moderno Dicionário Inglês-Português-Inglês) translates as dismissed. I also looked up "send down" in Webster Unabridged and this is what I got:

British: to suspend or expel from a university

So that is only for British English. If the translation is for the UK, the asker should use send down. If elsewhere, I´d use dismissed.

agree  airmailrpl: "sent down" to where ??..Programme Termination If a student is academically or professionally unsatisfactory the Board of Studies can recommend that his/her programme is ended before its normal end date. This was previously termed ‘sending down'.
38 mins
  -> I'm sure that 'sending down' means 'dismissed' (as suggested), but not SENT to any particular place!! 'Send down' is the correct terminology, I'm sure.
agree  Cristina Santos: Yes, for the UK

Explanation:
Cancelamento da matrícula
A matrícula de um aluno pode ser cancelada em várias circunstâncias. Esse ato de cancelamento de matrículada é conhecido informalmente como "jubilamento" ou "desligamento".

Sendo calouro eu já posso ser jubilado?
R. Sim. Se você for reprovado por freqüência em todas as disciplinas de um dos dois primeiros semestres do ano de ingresso, você será jubilado administrativamente.

O que é a "regra dos 20%"?
R. No fim de cada semestre, conta-se o número de créditos em que o aluno se matriculou nos 4 semestres anteriores. Se o aluno tiver obtido menos que 20% daquele número de créditos, sua matrícula matrícula fica sujeita à aprovação da CG.
Convém lembrar que em cada semestre o aluno deve estar matriculado em pelo menos 12 créditos (a menos que obtenha trancamento total do semestre).

Existem outras regras de jubilamento?
R. Sim. Caso o aluno não obtenha nenhum crédito em 4 semestres consecutivos, ele é jubilado administrativamente. Caso o aluno deixe de se matricular por 3 semestres consecutivos, ele é jubilado administrativamente. Veja também as "Informações para Alunos" no sítio da Pró-Reitoria de Graduação. Veja tambem "Cancelamento" no FAQ Acadêmico do sítio da Pró-Reitoria de Graduação.
