<p>After failing my courses and getting kicked out of a 4-year school, I applied to my local community college as a freshman and had my high school send the transcripts and everything required. I was accepted into a degree program as a matriculated student, and I will be receiving my Associate's degree soon. </p>
<p>I will be having an appointment with my advisor in three weeks. There are some courses from my 4-year school that I could transfer over and waive some credit hours. However, my GPA at the 4-year school is less than 2.0, and the community college requires a 2.0 minimum transfer GPA for students. Problem is I didn't realize this at the time so I applied as a freshman, and they admitted me.</p>
<p>If I tell my advisor that I received a less than 2.0 GPA and don't meet the transfer requirements (keep in mind I got in because I applied as a freshman), could they rescind my application and kick me out of the degree program? I really want my credits from the 4-year school to transfer over but not at the risk of getting kicked out of a CC.</p>
<p>I hope that you get some more replies soon but I will get you started. Although I have not worked there for many years, the community college that I worked at would definitely not kick you out. They would bend over backwards to help students succeed. Although we did not accept any grades below C for transfer, part of my job was evaluating transcripts to see what could be brought in. Since your school has a written policy of not accepting transfers under 2.0, they might not accept those credits, but I don’t think it will hurt to ask.</p>
<p>You should have been required to submit your old transcripts when you formally became a candidate for the Associate’s degree, but it looks like someone (you? Them? Everyone?) slipped up. Bring the transcript to your meeting with your advisor, and ask what you need to do to straighten things out. You will need to have an official transcript sent from your original U to the CC, so find out who that needs to go to.</p>
<p>It may be a bit messy for a bit, but hang in there. It will work out in the end.</p>
<p>My cc system does not accept students who are on academic suspension. Once you have been out of school the required period of time (as established by your 4 year school), the cc will accept you, but require a transcript from all institutions attended, regardless of whether you completed any coursework or not. Sometimes we let students enroll for the current semester, but place a hold on their accounts to prevent further registration unless a transcript is presented. I used to think the policy of not accepting students on suspension was harsh, but I have come to believe that some time away from school can help students value their future educational experiences when they return. The important thing is to return to school when you are eligible. </p>
<p>Agree with happymomof1 - things don’t always go as we want; but, if you persevere, you will see things move in the right direction. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>The Community College may have some of these policies written out in an online handbook. It may be worth reading that before you meet with your advisor. Even if an advisor wants to be helpful, they may not know the details of their college’s own policies.</p>
