returning after dismissal

<p>I was a former student at Cal with really good grades. However, due to some unexpected events - I was dismissed from the University due to the circumstances I was facing at the time which resulted in poor grades. My transcripts will indicate that prior to the event, i maintained all A's my first four semesters and in summer sesssions. A substantial amount of time has past since then, I am currently taking courses at a CC in preparation to apply to Cal for readmission.</p>

<p>What steps must i take to get accepted to Cal under these circumstances?</p>
