How can I go back to college after I've been academically dismissed?

There's  a way, but  it's  gonna have to be the hard way:  you  need to go through the same, or a different college's Continuing Ed. division.  You need to take about 3-5 courses to prove you can get at least a 2.5 gpa, then re-apply into Matriculating status at that college in order to take courses that will actually count towards graduation.  Basically, you need to "prove yourself" again first before you're considered by the Office of Admissions.  Talk to the admissions' counselor and the Continuing Ed. Dept.'s counselors of whichever school you will try to apply again.  They're usually very understanding and helpful.\n\nGood luck !!!

I recommend withdrawing, however, this actually depends somewhat on your current GPA.  If it's really high, failing may actually be the better option for you - financially, anyway.  Your transcript will be less pretty, but if you can fail all your classes this semester and still keep your GPA around a 2.5 or better, then this may be the better route to take.  However, if it's going to bring it down to a less than a 2.5, withdraw from the classes.  It will cost you far more in the long run to graduate with less than a 3.0 (as far as job opportunities and salaries go), and it would be very difficult to bring it back up after such a disastrous semester - also, you run the risk of being suspended if it runs too low, which usually means no more financial aid until you can bring it back up, and you have to sit out at least one semester.

You've got to be kidding.  Run, don't walk, to the nearest educational institution and enroll in a remedial English class.  Concentrate on English grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling.  Become literate and then think about getting a job.  Also, consult an attorney about your possible legal avenues of redress against whatever school you have been attending.

usually the college that you're applying to will be able to help you out with that.\n\nMy suggestion is to go to their website, or directly to them (in person) and see if they can help you there.

i'll get back to you... \nEDIT:\n"RE-4 - Individuals separated from last period of service with a nonwaiverable disqualification (refer to AR 601-280). Ineligible for enlistment except as provided for in paragraphs 2-7c and 2-7d. (See waiverable moral and administrative disqualifications.) Disqualilication is nonwaivable."\n\nPer the regulation referenced it seems you can apply for a waiver to HRC-Alexandria. You need a recruiter willing to work hard for you. You will have to write a letter explaining the situation, in which you come clean about the past & SELL them on taking a chance on the new you (they're going to have a valid concern that you'll flake out again when it's time to go to work after they've spent a bunch of money training you).

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I'm having trouble getting back to school also because I and my family are too poor. I want to be a psychologist, a counselor. All you can do is wait and have faith that what is meant to happen will happen. In the mean time work hard. God(whichever one you believe in) helps those who help themselves. :^)

Write a letter explaining your situation to whom ever is in charge at the high school, visit that person if you can.  Unfortunately you might have to go to public school for one year and try again for the catholic school.  I know it sucks but I wouldn't look at repeating seventh grade as an option.  good luck.

The same type of thing happened to me my senior year.  I was an honor roll student with many AP classes.  I suffered from anxiety/depression problems which made it impossible for me to ever get to school on time.  My school's policy was that you were issued a detention every 3rd time you were marked late.  I had dozens of them.  Being late all the time was embarrassing and it added to the anxiety. I stayed home a lot to avoid more embarrassment and being "punished" for my lateness with even more detentions. \n\nOver the course of the year, I had accumulated over 30 absences (limit was 20) and many were unexcused.  No one had said anything to me about it until we were a few weeks away from graduation.  I was then told I would not be able to graduate and that if I wanted to, I needed to file some sort of appeal for a review board.  I threw a fit, threatened my guidance counselor that I would drop out (not recommended) and put in for the appeal.  The board accepted my appeal based on my good grades and the fact that I participated in many activities. I'm not saying that it's a solution, just that you should be able to appeal any decision that is made to hold you back or take away credit if it comes to that. You may not be as lucky as I was.  \n\nI would think that being able to provide a doctor's note should excuse some absences but that's usually only good for days that you have an actual doctor's appointment.  You may even want to look into getting some sort of letter from a doctor that explains the situation and what you're doing about it.  Also, see if you can set up a meeting with a guidance counselor involving your mom to try to work something out before it's too late.  The guidance counselor may know how to get around this if you have a medical/mental health problem that's keeping you from getting to school, especially if your grades are still good.  Do it as soon as possible.\n\nI don't know the story behind your nervousness problem but it sounds like you are either not taking any medication or else it's not working the way it should.  I'm not saying you have an anxiety disorder, just that it sounds like one.  This is a problem that may follow you for years if you don't do something about it soon.  I suggest you find professional help that works for you.  Breathing exercises are great IF THEY WORK and it sounds like this isn't really working well for you right now.  My mother did not want to believe that I needed anti-anxiety meds so I was never seen by a doctor.  The result was that I almost dropped out of high school, I did drop out of college and I've had a hard time keeping a steady job because of lateness or being "absent".  I am only seeking help now (I'm 28) and I wish I had been able to deal with this earlier because my life would have been a lot easier!

Whether or not you have a suit really depends on what state the institution is in and what the state and local laws are for your situation.  Your school catalog should have a whole section on how and under what circumstances a student can be dismissed, you may want to check that out to see what if there is an appeal process and whether or not they followed the correct procedure in dismissing you.  You definitely NEED to talk to an attorney!  You may want to see if your state or county has a Lawyer Referral Service.  The ABA has a website that can locate the closest Referral Service to you.  I believe their website is www.abanet.org

Go back to school and get another type of job.

Financial Aid is almost always affected by a student's suspended status (You do mean suspended as opposed to "probation," right?).  In order to be eligible for Federal Student Aid, a student must maintain "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) as determined by his/her school's SAP policy. At most schools, this means that you need either \n\n(a) pass a a certain percentage of your classes, \n(b) pass a certain number of classes, \n(c) maintain a certain GPA or\n(d) a combination of 1 or more of the above\n\nSince you were already suspended (instead of being placed on probation), you should have been (or will soon be) notified of the affect that this action has on your financial aid. Quite simply, if you aren't in school, you can't receive financial aid.  But when you come back to school, if you do well enough to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, you will once again be able to obtain federal aid (and probably anything else, too). \n\nKeep in mind that, for suspended students, regaining "good standing" usually entails attending school for a little while (e.g. a semester) *without* the assistance of financial aid.  You need that first semester to prove that you have made SAP.\n\nSo, to "get yourself back on track," you will need to focus on your academics above all else.  Now that you understand *why* you did poorly, you have a chance to improve. Sometimes taking a break is good, but don't stay away too long.  As soon as you are able, petition to return from suspension. Only once you bring your grades up can the financial aid issues be resolved. \n\nWhile you are out of school, you can complete the FAFSA (just so your school has it on file), but don't expect to get any federal or state aid until your school tells you "yes, you have made satisfactory academic progress."  By all means, apply for outside scholarships for the semester that you plan to return. Check their eligibility criteria to see if the awards are need-based or merit-based and whether the organization will require SAP (some do).\n\n---------------------------\n\nAll that said, many schools will also have procedures in place for you to appeal a financial aid suspension/probationary status. In general, in a letter appealing a financial aid probation/suspension, you would probably want to explain why you failed your class and what you plan to do to remedy this situation. If there were personal issues that contributed to your less-than-ideal performance, mention these (if you are comfortable doing so).

Contact your High School. Explain that you have either lost or damaged your diploma and you need a replacement. There will most likely be a fee and a form to fill in, but they should be able to send you a new one/official duplicate.

Take classes at a community college for a year or two and get excellent grades.  You can retake some of what you failed in the past if you need those classes for a degree.\n\nYour situation is not that uncommon.  Many people felt forced  into attending college right out of high school and they did poorly.  They needed to grow up some and bounce around for a while, and they often make very dedicated students once they return to school.  Good luck!

The best idea is to visit again and speak to your campus liason. Often people are denied or wait listed b/c the school wants to admit people who demonstrate that they will accept the invitation to go. If you really want to attend visit and make clear your dissapointment as well as the fact that you want to attend.

I don't think you'll have to start the transfer process over, but I think you'll  either have to retake the class or take another class in the same category.  This depends usually on whether the class you failed is a requirement for your major or just an elective.  Most schools in my state (NY) are like this, and require a C or better in all classes that you want to get credit for as part of your transfer.  I hope this helps, and good luck!

Contact the school you graduated from.  Almost every school has a Career Center/Career Resource Center, and they offer services to graduates, too.  You should be able to work with them to update your resume, look through job postings and get some pointers on the current job market.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps!
