<p>Fall 2012 was my first semester in college. I had not anticipated the huge jump from high school to college. I ended up failing my biology class. Getting a D in my chemistry class. Getting a CD in my Statistics class, and getting a C in my English class. I have a GPA of 1.143 for the end of the term. Under my grades it says "required to withdraw for academic reasons". I was never warned earlier about my academic standings. I don't know how to tell my parents that I'm going to be kicked out of college. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know if I can request an appeal and be lucky and accepted to return. I don't know what to do or how to tell my parents. They thought I was doing a wonderful job in my classes, but in reality I was doing horrible. What do I do?</p>
<p>What school is it? State schools are generally more strict than private ones, and will provide less support. </p>
<p>You need to talk to your counselor immediately. Ask him about the options, explain your situation, and most importantly, ask him what your best options are.</p>
<p>Many schools allow you to complete a semester or two at a CC, get a high enough GPA, and be accepted back in. Other require you to re-apply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>It’s Marquette University.
Should I call my counselor/Academic Advisor? I’d assume they would be on break as well…</p>
<p>Contact your advisor/counselor. Since this was your first semester, you may be able to appeal and return for next semester. Check the university website for information about the appeal process.</p>
<p>Many students have great difficulty their first semester in college. Think about your options. Is there a community college where you can enroll for next semester? If you live at home, get help with developing better study habits from the tutoring center at the CC, and maybe get a part-time job to help cover expenses, things will eventually turn around.</p>
