Generally the folks on the appeals board don't want to hear excuses so much as your plans for improving your grades.  Keep in mind - the University doesn't make any money by kicking you out, so they'd rather keep you there, but rules are rules.  So, you have to go through this appeals process.  For the most part, if you show some sincere effort in putting together the petition, your odds of the committee deciding in your favor are much higher.  I recommend, at a MINIMUM, three letters of support regarding your ability to succeed at college classes - only one of which (if any) should be from a family member.  If you can get the reference to give the letter to you in a sealed envelope (don't open it, of course), so much the better - it helps convince the committee that you didn't forge it.  (Which doesn't make much sense, after all - why couldn't someone just put a forged letter into an envelope?  Anyway, all I know is that it seems to help) Also, put a lot of thought into your personal essay - I'm assuming that the petition requires one.  If it doesn't, write one anyway.  You basically want to explain why you failed this semester as truthfully and briefly as possible.  Then, explain IN DETAIL your plans for improvement, (such as how much time you plan to devote to studying per week, where you're going to study, what changes you plan to make in your lifestyle, etc.).  If you do all that, I'd be shocked if they don't let you back in.  After all, Madison does have a bit of a reputation as a party school.  If they kicked everyone out for violating probation, I don't think they'd have many students left. :)    Oh, and by the way - should your appeal be rejected, look into other schools in the area.  Generally being suspended from one school does not prohibit you from taking classes at another, especially if you enroll as a non-degree seeking student at the other school (the credits will transfer regardless).  If you do well in those classes, you could appeal the suspension again at the end of that semester, with an almost guaranteed success, since you could prove you're capable of decent grades.  Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, either on here or by email:  crazyophelia42@hotmail.com  Good luck!

If you retake a class, as I understand it, the grade you get the second time around replaces your failing grade - schools may be able to see that you retook the class, but not what your original grade was.  A lot of people retake classes just because they aren't happy with a B!  \n\nYes, medical schools allow it as well as other health related fields.

If you have a low GPA going to paralegal won't do any because you still have to pass the state exam, unless you know someone who can hook you up, I mean pay, I don't recommend it though but unfortunately it's happened.

Grades are not everything. If you have a low GPA some schools will accept you on probation providing your grades are good in your first year. Also they are going to look more at courses in your area or interest than overall. There are some great websites were you can search and determine how hard a school is to get into (usually based on entering students GPA and test scores on their ACT and SAT). Check out these two websites, they are the best I have found so far. You can also pick states that you would not mind living in and average city size. Hope this helps.\n\nhttp://www.princetonreview.com/home.asp\nhttp://petersons.com/

Wow!  People here sure are judgemental.  I bet that's only the case when it's not them in the hot-seat, though.  Anyways, you'll have to refer to the sentencing guidelines for when you were sentenced.  If you fail to participate in community service, which is a violation of your probation, they can place you in jail, and depending on the nature of your offense, either keep you there until your probation officer sees fit, or they can revoke your probation and re-sentence you which could mean you get to go to prison.  Then you'll have to worry about parole instead of just probation.  Either way, I'd say it's just easier to do the community service - or find someone to sign off on your community service hours to "say" you did it.  =)\n\nGood luck!

the school system itself is bad. they hate it when you make mistakes and they do not allow you to ask your friends for help during test.

It is a distance learning school -- so even if it were good, very few people will take it seriously.  Since it is not accredited, only idiots will take it seriously.

Kendrick has the best RESULTS, but be careful. I know several girls who went there and it isn't very 'caring' - incidents of self-harm and eating disorders are above the national average, even for a grammar school crammer. Interestingly, even staff have ended up messed up in the hothouse environment. It would be a good school for a tough, smart, mature girl ... but maybe not the best if she isn't 100% hard as nails emotionally.

First of all i don't think Morris Brown has their accreditation back.  If you are talking about the one in Atlanta.  Also they don't have a medical school attached.  Second each school may have their own scholarships then you need to look for other ones.  Based on race, work experience, SAT T scores, grades etc.

Always be honest.  Is your report card wrong or did you get bad grades?  What can you do to correct a poor grade?

Because you got what you deserved...  The question should be; why did i get a bad report card?  Was it because you did not study, missed class, or just sit there and paid no attention... Whatever, you need to improve your grades.

It is NOT accredited. Go to a real school.

Such discipline records are not generally sent. If you need a school recommendation from a teacher, that could be diffficult...it you are a chronic problem. Grades are usually the only factor...and money of course.

I reckon that it should be marked on how well the paper is written, as it is unfair to people who put a lot of effort into a paper and get crap grades, compared to other people who write what the teacher wants to hear without trying and getting better grades...not fair to the students who tried!

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!
