Academic dismissal

<p>Hi, I'm not sure if this is where i should be putting this post. This is my first time using this forum. To get right to my point, I am currently in the process of being dismissed from my current university due to my grades. My last three semesters have really messed me up. Before that I had been doing relatively good in school. I don't have any real good reason for why I started doing bad in school. I think it may have something to do with my anxiety disorder getting the best of me at times, and the lack of motivation of the current degree I am pursuing. But anyway, I'm not really sure where I should be going from here. How do I go about correcting this huge problem? I don't really want to wait 6 months to a year to get back into my current school to finish a degree I don't even want to be in anymore. I am currently pursuing nutrition, but after years of schooling in this field I find it boring and not something I want to do for the next 40 years of my life. I actually am now thinking I want to become a dental hygienist. There is a community college near me that offers this program. Will I be able to get into this community college, or any community college for that matter, after being dismissed from another college? Again I am really not sure how to redeem myself and get my grades where I want them to be. If anyone has any advice id really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Call your local community college, explain your situation and see if you can enroll. If they permit you to attend, be sure you only do so if you are full prepared to do well. There’s nothing wrong with taking some time off to deal with your anxiety disorder and try to figure out which direction you want to head long term.</p>

<p>Good luck, hang in there!</p>
