It should be:

If a student (SINGULAR) cannot complete their course work with correct basic grammar, then he or she or one (PLURAL) doesn't belong in college.


Actually that's wrong too (see my bold). It should be:

If a student cannot complete his coursework.

Or, if you're being PC:

If a student cannot complete her coursework.

English has no singular gender neutral pronoun. "He" was used as this for centuries but the PC crowd is trying to do away with that.
