<p>Hey guys:
Here is a painstaking situation that I got myself into at my own university. And I am trying to figure out if this is a possible option.
Due to a student misconduct, I am going to be expelled indefinitely from my alma mater. The university said that I would not be allowed back on campus for a minimum of 1 year, and that in order to re-enroll, a favorable evaluation is necessary. It is also unlikely that the university would amend its sanctions imposed. This is already my senior year, and in order to graduate, I only need to complete an additional 12-14 credits. I am considering whether I should try to transfer to another school and get into that place. The schools I am looking into are from New Zealand & Australia.
Some people have advised me the following: 1)Given the nature of my disciplinary action, no schools or academic institutions would accept my offer for transferring b/c they are not willing to risk taking a student who had that kind of trouble with his former academic institution. 2)Even if I do transfer successfully to another school, it's a waste of my own time and money. 3)this would not be viewed favorably for future job and graduate school applications, as they may also ask me why I am transferring when I have finished so many credits from my prior institution.
I seriously do not really want to stay at my alma mater anymore, and really want to transfer to another school. However, I do not know about my chances. I know that one guy from Harvard, called Adam Wheelers, successfully transferred into Stanford after disciplinary actions from Harvard. The link is below, which discusses his story.

<p>And something else about me and my school:
In order to graduate, I would need 120 credits from my alma mater. However, I have completed already 107 credits.</p>
<p>Adam Wheeler was a con man who forged everything from transcripts to recommendations to trick his way into Harvard… Harvard found him out, expelled him, and he conned his way into Stanford soon after. Stanford found out, and then expelled him. He had to serve a year in jail after that I believe for over 20 accounts of forgery.</p>
