Academic Dismissal

Hello,

I was placed on academic for the first time after my Fall 2017 semester. Was by far the worst semester grades wise I ever had. This year alone has been extremely tough with my parents separating (were never married) after 25 years and the! going into my spring semester I had found out my grandmother who practically raised me was diagnosed with cancer. Not to be a sob story but I recently realized that these events have affected me more than I had thought. I am struggling again this semester and am probably going to receive an F in one of my classes resulting in me being on academic probation again which according to school policy could result in my disqualification. I have never had one single violation with the school or had terrible grades (not exceptional ones either) and am terrified of being kicked out of university. I have had a friend be on academic probation two semesters in a row as well but because there was summer break between those two semesters it had changed his situation. He said he was put on the second level of academic probation which I was not aware existed. Could it be that there is a actually a second level that happens after your first level of academic probation? If there is not and I end up appealing due to my family issues above do you think I have a good chance of being reinstated.?

Talk to your academic advisor ASAP. Also, can you still drop the class that you are getting an F in? If so, drop it, but in any event go talk to your advisor today.

Unfortunately the withdrawal date had already occurred. My only thought is to submit a late withdrawal form explaining my situation but considering the semester is over in about 3 and a half weeks I highly doubt it would be accepted.

Tough love here…

If you were not doing well fall year because of your family situation…did you get help for those issues before you started spring semester?

Why did you wait until after the withdrawal date to take action?

Usually if you don’t improe your GPA to an acceptable level they will ask you to leave/take a leave of absensce…you have not shown you can be successful at that school.

Go right now and talk to your adviser about this. Now.

Also, if there’s anything you can do to bring the F up to D between now and the end of the semester, dig deep and do it,
