Academic Dismissal

<p>so here is my story, this is the second time i have been dismissed from my community college...first time i must admit i wasnt ready so i failed all my classes...second time i was taking 3 night courses and i passed 2 out of 3 classes and still got dismissed...so do i apply for another community college or institution or would it be best to continue trying with the same community college?</p>

<p>I would start fresh!</p>

<p>I agree with justink. I think it’s time to start fresh at a different community college.</p>

<p>I was thinking the same thing but being that my school put me in a ditch by not informing me properly about the “forgiveness policy” (forgiveness policy is where u start the gpa ans credits over at 0 but the grades are still there ) didn’t know that until after I was dismissed…matter of fact I didn’t realize I was still on probation</p>

<p>You need to go back to your original CC, and find out the details of their policy. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask again until you get it. Then, before you leave, ask “Is there anything else I need to know?” Ask how soon you could re-enroll, and what you need to do to show them that you are ready to be back in school. It is most likely that they will require you to take a semester or two off before trying again.</p>

<p>It is very unlikely that any other place will admit you right now because you have been dismissed for academic reasons. When you apply for admission somewhere else, you will have to provide copies of your transcripts from the first CC. Before they admit you, they will have to believe that you are capable of being successful in your classes. Given your record so far, they don’t have much evidence to support that belief. If you do try to transfer, be sure to come up with a very clear evidence as to why you are now able to do well in college.</p>

<p>I suggest you google and read up on SAP - satisfactory academic progress. Every college has to have a policy, and the Fed. government sets guidelines colleges need to follow. If you were dismissed for SAP, it also means you are not eligible for any federal financial aid. Talk to your school, find out your options. All schools you apply to will be able to look into a database and see that you are ineligible for aid from Title 4 funding, if SAP is the problem.</p>

<p>wow, I guess I didn’t realize there was a performance standard even at community colleges… That’s a bummer but I don’t have any advice at all.</p>

<p>I would have thought that one could take and fail as many classes at CC as one wished and could afford. I guess I thought wrongly!</p>

<p>Remember - although you pay fees to the CC, it does not cover the costs. The rest is paid by tax dollars. This is a good reason why you get booted out if you do not seem to be making progress.</p>
