My Story of being Academically Dismissed from College 

I just got academically dismissed from my University, and I literally feel like my life is over because this was the one thing my parents were looking forward to. To be honest, college was never my plan. I really tried, but I just had no interest in the major I was studying, but I just did it to please my parents. I come from a family that is very proud of our accomplishments, so if they ever found out that I failed college, I would become a disappointment in their eyes. All the time, money, the effort put into my education were all wasted because of me. I feel devastated.

I just found your video and I think it's quite inspirational. Thirty-three years ago, I was academically dismissed from college. I eventually returned to school, earning my BS and MS in Education, and now I teach mathematics at the college that dismissed me! I have earned teaching excellence awards, and I am passionate about helping students who have failed out (or are on the verge of failing out) to turn their ship around. Thank you for what you are doing! I wish you success...

UPDATE: I was readmitted! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 I will be better than ever. 💕

i was academically disqualified (first time) from my first university two years ago. it was a painful reality. i have been at a CC improving my GPA and getting my credits where they needed to be. Going to CC was the best decision i made for myself. i’m currently applying for universities as a transfer student, and graduating next year. everything happens for a reason, this journey was definitely not easy for me. i hope i get accepted and that disqualification from my first university can be used as growth in my new application. bless you all. you will be okay💗

Thank you very much for this video. I'm going through this same issue. Seeing you coming out of it gave me hope. Much respect.

I feel like my life is falling apart after messing up my first semester so bad and getting the news that I have been dismissed today. The people I met at my college have changed my life and have become family to me. I thought I was gonna be on probation, but no. I just feel like a complete failure and I'm scared that I'm never gonna see these friends again. I was so scared of losing another group of friends that I neglected working sometimes so I wouldn't miss out on being with them, and ironically, that ended up being the reason why I may lose them Now I can file an appeal to get back, but there's no 100% guarantee that it'll work. I'm praying so hard that I can get back and be with my friends again and finish my degree so I won't be stuck at a grocery store for the rest of my life. It's gonna suck being held back (I'm assuming) and having to repeat classes, but even that's better than never getting to be there again. I'm trying to think positively but struggling so hard. EDIT: I've been accepted back and so far, I think I'm doing a lot better on my schoolwork!

It IS possible to bounce back. I was readmitted to my university this semester and I've had all A's on my exams. Surround yourself with uplifting people. Failure is a lonely journey but can be fixed. I struggle with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks so I adopted a dog. My dog, my boyfriend and my family are the ones keeping me above water. Have friends with similar interests whether it is academically or professionally career related. Removing the small negative aspects in life and replacing it with positives has definitely helped in me changing everything in life. Remember that you can't just get a 4.0 in a semester so don't beat yourself up. But with a change in lifestyle, your decisions, and a better mindset, things can change slowly but surely. Take everything day by day. Life is not over.

Its not how you start. It’s how you finish. “Look at me now, I’m fresha then a mufuh.”

I just found out that I have been put in academic dismissal. First year in college and I get put on academic dismissal.I’m so sad and angry at myself about it. I feel that I have failed myself and haven’t tried as hard as I should’ve when I couldn’t. Since the pandemic have started, it has been very hard to learn through a computer screen. My college is suggesting that if I want to be re-admitted to the college, I will have to go to other higher educational college and I don’t want to do that. Only because this college have given me a full-ride that I feel I have completely destroyed and I knew from the jump that this school will be the best to help me reach my future career goals. I don’t know what to do I don’t want to be enrolled in another school, I don’t want to lose my full-ride opportunity, what kind of advice can you guys give me?

I just got academic disqualified and I feel like my life is over.

Ive been academically dismissed twice and I'm outearning the majority of my former classmates. Just like you said. Work ya butt off. You definitely are NOT a failure if you've recently been academically dismissed.

I'm about to be academically suspended from my school and idk what to tell my parents when i come back for break.

man, I remember watching this vid precisely around this time last year crying and being depressed because I was on the verge of being academically dismissed. Fast forward a year after dealing with both academic prohibition and dismissal, and now I'm going to be finished with my associate degree in 2 months, and my GPA has been improving like never before. The point of the matter is, to try and never give up hope. If you don't try to give in your dismissal letter, you'll never know if you will get back in or not. And chances are, there is a 90% chance the university will allow you to get back in. And if not, there are way more options to choose and succeed in life. Like going to a different college, or even doing trade school, etc. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE IN LIFE REMEMBER THAT. YOU WILL SUCCEED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I PROMISE!!!!

I was Academically dismissed for college, now I have graduated for bachelor in Accounting. I was able to bring up my gpa

Picture this: You study so hard in high school and or community college in order to transfer to a university and then because university is too hard I end up being put on academic probation which then I'm supposed to work twice as hard again in order for the college to let me back in??!!!! At that point I would just say FUCK THAT MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!!! I'm dropping out! Later.

I know this is 2 years later but I still feel the need to share my story. I just took my first semester in college. It was ok, during the semester my hardest classes were biology and chemistry. At the end of the semester I ended getting a D in Chemistry and an F in a GE class. As for biology I am still unsure if I passed, I sincerely hope I did.This has made me cry so many times and I feel like I let everyone down. It was a hard semester. I am not sure if this means I am on academic probation. I know i will have to retake chemistry. For any of you out there with a similar situation, you are not alone:) people fail all the time, especially in college. What is important is that you move on and correct your mistakes.

I'm so glad this video exists! I'm going through the same thing right now and feel like a huuuuge failure. But this gives me hope, nice to know I'm not the only going through it. Thank you!

I am a senior in college, and i faced academic probation after my first semester because I had a difficult adjustment to school. However, I met with my academic adviser every week, and she was very encouraging. My biggest problem was test anxiety and that was why I kept getting C's. Now I am gradually learning to overcome that. :)

Man im watching this now scared that i might get kicked out and i feel the same about not telling my mom im just hoping that doing a summer class that i need helps bring me close enough or to 2.0 so that i cant work my butt off next year

Honestly I have a similar situation and I often feel like I'm incapable of succeeding in the academic field. It's really nice to see people who have pushed their way past those obstacles; It's nice to know that it's doable and this video was motivating

I was kicked out of my university when I was in second year. I failed two courses because I had started a small business with my best friend at the time and didn’t go to class. It hurt like hell, it still hurts a bit

Just finished my final exam of my first semester at college and I already know I'm about to be put on academic probabtion. I only really have myself to blame as I could have used my weekends a bit more wisely. It just sucks seeing all my friends happy that they are done and passed(don't get me wrong I'm happy for them) while I feel left behind and like all the stress throughout the semester was for nothing.

Currently an engineering student that thought he was in the clear. Just got a notification that I'm on continued probation which will block me from the courses unless i get a massive exception with my last reach meeting with my advisor. I don't know how to feel but I'll hopefully be able to piece this mess together again.

I god an academic suspension years ago. Came back this year and after going into financial aid twice a week for months they didnt tell me about the suspension until the very last minute...Went through all the steps of the appeal and just found out that the dean denied me...For something that happened years ago...Under a different major. I cant afford to get tuition in less than 15 days and I have never been so close to just...being so angry in my entire life. I want to go in there and raise hell...But I know full well if I do they'll just call security. I'm lost.

I got academic dismissal too. It’s a tough time for me and I don’t know how to tell this to my parents. But thankfully your video much encouraging me return to my university. If I got return in future, I will probably reply my own comment! 💪

I'm 7yrs late to the comments but I'm glad I yt recommend this video to me. I've been on probation and am close to being dismissed so I stepped away from school. My poor mental health was making school next to impossible, and even though I stepped away it hasn't helped because now I feel like a failure. Thus video and these comments made me feel a bit better, it's always good to know you're not alone.

Going through this exact same thing, was just dismissed the other day and can't think for the life of me how to tell my family 😔

I got financial aid suspension and without aid I can't go to college. they want me to pay for at least two classes but I don't know when I will get my aid back. I'm scared cause my parents don't even know and they want to actually go to my college and ask what the hell is going on. I have the strictest parents in the world. so I don't want anything right now but to die.

I am currently on academic probation and in the middle of my finals. I feel like I've failed my math class and despite how I'll do on my other classes, it is likely I'll be dismissed. I will try to keep my head up, but I am doubtful. Thank you for this video.

Thank you so much for this man. Being a fellow African American male, I needed to hear this from another brother going through the same thing. Definitely raised my spirits and gave me hope. I'm planning on finishing community college and finally transferring to a nice University to pursue a degree in Business and marketing as well as computer science. It was just so much going on personally that caused me to mess up in school, and me actually being a sharp kid I was devastated when I got put on academic probation/ suspension. But I'm never giving up on my dreams, plan to graduate by the fall and get out of there for good. Thank you again!

Going through the same it's been two years since I've been academic dismissed I have been working since then but even though my little sister is in kindergarten seeing do so well reminded me of when I was in school, how great I did from kindergaten all the way to high school, she motivated me to reapply and that's exactly what I'm going to do, I can't and I won't give up that easily, I'm going to make sure that my next go around in college is different from my first

I really needed to hear this... I manned up and told my parents and my aunt and uncle who are paying my tuition... they understood but I disappointed them. This video is helping me right now. Thanks man

I'm currently in the same position of failing two classes, I don't know if I'm going to be academically dismissed or suspended. I don't know, but I am scared to death! What can I do! This is my first year in my college and I have to do something fast.

Right now I'm in probation for pre-algebra and it's really hard but I know I could do it if I try

I think it's sick that a person can commit a crime, and get a free college education in prison and come out and get licensed as a professional.

It’s summer..I happened to check my portal to accept a roommate request and found out that I’m disqualified(I didn’t even receive an email) I want to dispute it because I lost family and battling with my own mental health but I also feel drained out with all this college stuff to the point where I don’t think it’s worth it. I know I need to be straight up with my mom and tell her but I’m really scared to disappoint her. I’m disappointed..I can’t even imagine how disappointed she would be.

Thank you for making this video ❤

Thank you bro bro, I am going through this RIGHT NOW, and you're spot on with the emotions that we go through. Hearing you were able to turn it around was a big plus. I know it will not happen to everyone but hearing these stories gives me hope. Which I am in dire need of. I feel the same way, if I can get one moe quarter to prove I belong, I will turn it around. Thanks for posting this, 1luv

I can’t change my major. I’m already at the end. I now have 4 courses left to take. All by the fall. 2 in the summer and 2 in the fall. Man my life is over.

Today, I just found out I was academically disqualified.... I worked my butt off and tried my best to do well my second semester. I was a first year college student. My fall semester of freshman year, being away from home, and then family problems affected my academics, I wasn't sleeping, I was scared and depressed, although I attended my classes, I just lost all motivation. Once I found out I was on academic probation, I tried my HARDEST to pass a class that I despised. It was year long so it would have been chaos for me to drop it my second semester. I just found out they're kicking me out...I'm heartbroken, any advice?

I ve been suspended from my university in China and tomorrow is a deadline for the paper, where I should write everything about my study experience and my future plan. I want to cry, because I would miss my friends so much. Cause I should leave not only uni, but a country too. MY visa is only till 12.30.2019

hey, I did not do well for fall and spring .then my gpa was down . I got an email about financial aid disqualified what should i do ,pls anwer as soon as possible

This video is really uplifting, I just got a letter from my community college that I’ve been academically dismissed, but luckily I’m still enrolled in 2 summer classes that could hopefully pull up my gpa

Goodness I truly needed this. :( I will be subscribing because let's just say... my mental health is at an all time low

You guys have reasonable problems that anyone can define. Non that I have ever encountered.

I went to college from fall 2012- spring of 2016 and graduated with my bachelors degree in psychology. I have a learning disability so I had to re-teach myself how to study. I was put on academic probation my first half of my freshman year because i got 2 c's and 1 D. i was able to repeat the course i got the D in and I brought up my GPA to a 2.7. then by my sophomore year my GPA went down to a 2.6 because I got a D+ in another course due to health problems. then the following semester, I got an A, A-, B+, and B- with a semester GPA of 3.5. My GPA was up to a 3.0. and then i replaced the D+ with a C+, and then my GPA improved a little but not much also due to health. and then i got a whole bunch of B grades spring of my junior year, and then my senior year I got nearly straight A's with a B+ as my lowest. My final GPA ended up being a 3.25 and I will be going to graduate school this fall :) The academic advisors at my university were actually the faculty in my department. I met with my academic advisor every week of the school year up until I graduated! she even provided me with a letter of recommendation because i took her class and i was her advisee for all 4 years. She was the most supportive person all through undergrad and was the reason why I tried my very best all the time even when I was at my most stressed mental state. I owe practically everything to her. :)

Thank you...I really needed to hear this.

Good Evening, This is really a good inspiring video. I too was on academic probation when I was enrolled at the junior College. I did not know truly what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go in life. After a quick transfer to a non-tradition online college I was able to work and keep up my grades because it was something I wanted to study. Keep up the good work!!!!

Thank you for sharing your story I can relate I go to Johnson Wales University I'm a sophomore equine business management major and I don't know if you're familiar with that University but the equine industry has been around for forty years at that school and unfortunately it's closing down in 2025 and I'm a sophomore and I've been having some personal issues outside of college financially cause I commute and it's really hard because I took a semester off because of financial reasons I had to work some speak with my advisor what opportunities are there because if I take the semester off and won't be allowed back because of major error would no longer be there so I'm on thin ice right now.

This has been sitting in my "Watch Later" list for nine years. It took me that long face my failure and move forward. Failure is hard and instructive. It is absolutely an option in this life. Take a breath. Learn. Change course if necessary. Failure is not the end. Keep moving forward. One step at a time. Be encouraged.

Hearing this from you, my brother helps me feel so much better. I'm going through a financial aid appeal denial right now and I feel so lost. I feel like I have nothing and I'll just be riding the rails for the rest of my life. I'm looking into taking a trade now but my major has been psychology like you and I was only in my first year. Now I'm either going to get a trade and make good money then go back to school or try to take one or two classes until I can hopefully get it reinstated. Crazy how the same government who refuses reparations to our people has the audacity to also refuse aid even if this is a second or third chance. Anyway, I'll try to come back and update if my life doesn't continue going down the sh**er.

I’m about to be withdrawn from my uni because of financial issues and it’s breaking my heart! I’m passing my subjects but I can’t afford it and I have 10 days to cone up with 9k

I just checked my grades and learned I had been academically dismissed and I was only in university for one semester after transferring since I started in the spring semester rather than the fall. I went to community college before and I struggled hard with classes I wasn’t fully invested in. It also didn’t help me when I went to university that I took classes I thought I could do and did well on assignments but exams brought my grades down a lot. Especially in Chemistry and Chem Lab as the assignments, in class quizzes and homework were no problem. Around exams though, despite studying my mind would go completely blank. I changed my major at the end of the semester after finals as I felt the major I originally wanted to go into (Biology) wouldn’t work well for me. Apart from passing English and Math, I failed Chemistry and History which ultimately screwed me over. Overall I am even more scared of telling my mom about my dismissal, even though I am certain she will find out eventually, and feeling like I am bound to disappoint her and my family as we made a big deal about me attending. Especially when the university I was attending was one of my first choices that I wished to attend. I started my semester off great but then exams kicked in and I was doomed for failure. It most likely didn’t help that I only had one semester instead of two to improve. I know this video is old but I need some advice about where to go from here. I don’t think I can qualify for an appeal and have to wait another year before I go back to university or attend a different college.

I went from a 3.66 to a 3.2 and my GPA at the university i ended up on academic probabtion was a 1.1 and i brought it up to a 1.8 but still 2 points away from being off academic probation but havent been back to school in 4 years so i still remain on academic probation to this day

this gives me hope! i just got put on academic probation and my parents are ready to disown me. i think i may just take 1 class at a time, i was taking 4 and maybe thats too much. anyway , thanks

I wanted this video the day I got suspended from college. I thought my life was over, that I failed. But I knew there has got to be something I could do. So I talked to my advisor, he told me I could still take summer classes while I wait for my appeal. Good news! I got my appeal, did great in the first summer class, so I'm staying for the rest of the summer. Another person reached out to me about the summer success program at my college. Though it's a challenging program, they help you every step of the way. I'm thriving in my classes and I'm looking forward to next semester! PS: don't be afraid to reach out; I told my mom about everything that was happening since getting suspended. I thought she was gonna be so disappointed but she told me that she was proud of me. theeennn she asked me what I was gonna do. I love you mom

I was dismissed from my teaching program because of a teacher I was working called me autistic after disclosing to her I had a learning disability. My learning disability is not related to autism. She reported me to the program that I said heinous things to her and they program believed her because she was a woman. I appealed to the program and department chairs and was still denied. I then went to a board facilitated by a few professors and students. I was readmitted against the program's decision of removing me. Though I was readmitted, I still faced retaliation from the department. I never looked at that school the same way again and never care to revisit it.

I am was on probation for a while now and my last year's semester I passed all my classaes but I failed in one of my classes for last semester now I was givien a letter by the school district saying I was in disculification.

i was academically dismissed from sfsu my second year as a transfer student and I felt horrible. I transferred out at the start of Covid shutdown so it was a really difficult time to focus on my studies. i decided to go back this semester but was dropped from my courses due to missing a financial payment. again this made me feel like a failure. its difficult being compassion with myself when there are so many expectations from my family. I’ve watched this video multiple times and every time I watch it, it gives me the courage to continue on despite the setbacks. for anyone who is or has experienced this, be proud of yourself and give yourself some grace. it’s a journey, not a race.

I’m about to be a freshman in college this upcoming fall and I have anxiety about how hard classes are going to be and what would happen if I fail. I didn’t even think of being academically dismissed. I didn’t even know that was a thing (I know sad) but watching this video and hearing your message gave me some sort of calmness that everything’s gonna be okay. Now that I know what could happen I know now not to let it happen. Thank you!

I’m on my second probation, I improved my attendance and homework, I met two of my professors I was expecting for them to tell me “wow I see you are improving keep it up” instead of that I got “I realistically don’t think you’ll pass this course” and I got so upset to the point I feel like giving up- college isn’t for me :/ this video cheered me up a bit

I will come back after writing appeal letter Edited: I got accepted!!!

I hope I can get readmitted... Please pray for my success. I will get back to you.

I'm probably going to be in academic probation. I've gotten to my final year and the senior classes are quite tough. I dropped one of them , and am failing the two I'm taking currently. Don't know how I'm gonna pass the four or five requirred senior classes

I just received a letter that I was terminated from my college due to exceeding the limite of years that i can study for my course which is 5 years. I started at 2015. I stop my course for 1 year due to health reasons which is a major low for me glad I am fully recovered. I go back to the college on 2017 but due to that semester which I stop school I failed all of my subject during that sem because I didn't sit for the final exam. I did my test very well I heard from my friends. 6 subject all of them 4 credit hour. When I got back to the college to study I re take all of my course that I failed. The thing is I don't know weather is it my college only or is the same around the world. Some of my course always rarely open and the time always clashed with another course making me unable to enrolled them which prolonged my stay at the university which is frustrating and the courses that open only have 1 lecture and 1 time slot. Literally there is 1 semester 3 of my course clashed. Currently I left with 3 subject until I graduate. But I just receive the letter that I got terminated . What I don't understand is limit is 5 years . I got into the school in April 2015 semester 2 . This year due to the covid my course should end after semester 2. But they said my course ended last year December . Literally I am lost right now and I don't know what to do . All I know is from the way the office people speak to me like they want to get rid of me. I did send for appeal to take the courses and I don't know weather I can take the course or not weather they have enough sit left or the course have open or not. Literally I waited 1 whole year to sit for that 1 course and it open only 1 time and 1 time slot. I don't know what to do now if they don't approved my letter. Even if approved and my course never open what should I do? It's not my fault that the course never open I can't even sub that course for other course because it's college compulsory. Every semester always have time clashed with other course or courses never open. I hear from my friend university 1 course at least 2 to 3 time slot and few different lecturers. I mean they can't blame me for not finishing my course when the courses rarely open and clash with other courses right? I too want to finish my course plus it is so expensive the course I feel like throwing money away tbh I don't feel like I learn while studying this long . I feel like I learn more from other sources and learn more through online. I am so frustrated and confused right now. I can't even sleep or think right .

Yup, my daughter was just dismissed and I am devastated. All the money I saved as a single parent wasted. Her GPA is destroyed and a year of her life lost.

I’ve just been dismissed a couple days ago 😪

This is what I'm already out at Versity, I don't know what to do worse thing am afraid to tell my family and am afraid to go back to my community. Your video just gave me little hope but still...

Thanks for this video of motivation and enlightenment

At the end of my sophomore year I was nearly kicked out of the university and kicked out of my major for low academic performance. I was a math major and had a D in Differential Equations and a D in Calculus 3/Multivariable Calculus in my sophomore year of college and I flunked General Biology* with an F (I failed the final*[If you fail the final exam, you fail the class regardless of your performance]) in my sophomore year. I switched to Economics as my major in my junior of college and turned my GPA around and graduated with a C+ average and graduated in 5 years. But, the reason why my GPA was low was because I took challenging classes (e.g. one year of General Physics and one course in General Chemistry, one Accounting class and one Finance class, General Biology, Calculus 1-3, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, one course in Computer Science, etc.). Plus, I am a terrible test taker. I do well with homework and projects but not with tests. And Economics is not an easy degree nor a tough degree but I can tell you it is harder than a Journalism or Communications major. Currently, I work at an Insurance and Financial Services company but having a low GPA is not the end of the world. But, it hurts your chances of getting a good paying job especially if you are planning to work in Accounting/Finance or Engineering or IT.

I am going through academic crisis and it is not due to my actual academics. I am a person with disability and I rely on the bus system to get me to and from the University I attend. Throughout my college life, I missed so many courses due to lack of reliable transportation and my GPA drops lower each semester. I do not know what my future looks like now and I am disappointed in myself that I did not do well in college. Any advice on how I can turn this around? I have to take 1 class every other semester now because I can not afford to pay as a full time student.

i was on academic dismissal my first qtr at college and they let me stay as long as i got a 2.0, i did not get the 2.0 bc of my GE classes while trying to do chem and bio which ive been wanting to change my major from. I just withdrew from the school a couple days ago so that i only have to leave for one qtr rather than a whole year, and im taking summer classes to boost my gpa to a 2.0 so that i can hopefully come back in the fall. i literally dont get how i let myself do this but here i am, 3000 miles away from home getting kicked out of my dorm this week and ive only told 3 ppl that im leaving bc i had no other choice, even my parents think i just decided to take a break

Shout out from South Africa, I am also academically excluded and I made an appeal I just hope I will be readmitted. If I don't. I don't know what I'll do for the rest of the year.

Who was paying for this?

I'm about to meet with my advisor about my grades. Im worried that I will be on probation. I have one week left before finals are due but I know my overall GPA is royally #$%*d because of one class. My other two are A's -_-

I have a friend who has failed the same class over and over in college. She is supposed to be in her 3rd year of college but is stuck in her first. FIRST. FIRST CLASS too. She doesn't even know what classes to take... The thing is when she started, she didn't care nor did she know why she was even going or what to do with her life. Now she knows that she wants to get real and attend college, get a career. I REALLY WANT TO HELP HER. I am trying, but she is clueless on for example what GED classes to take. What do I do?! I do not want to crush her spirit and tell her some shit like "you're dumb, give up".. I seriously want to help. She attends a community college and would like to transfer

Thank you for sharing. I will be sharing your video with a family member and friends.

I literally just got academically dismissed from UMD as well. I literally feel so depressed I was struggling the whole semester because I was going through personal things and I had no help. The administration is very unorganized due to pandemic. I honestly do feel like a failure. I worked so hard to get in this program and just like that it’s gone. I’m working with my advisor I’m trying to see if it’s possible for me to get I asked extra semester. But honestly I really just feel like crap right now. I really appreciate this video. It give me a little more hope.

I wanted to be a life long twitch streamer and it’s going well but I’m disappointing my parents by not going to school. It’s really hard for me mentally knowing I got all this pressure to make my parents proud but the thing is when I’m streaming I’m doing this with no help, no family meme era helping me just me myself. So, I’m working my ass off to do my best to want to be successful on what I love the most. Twitch streaming

Wow thank you so much. I know I could've done better but I had family emergencies and missed two weeks and a half of my second semester of my first year in college. I messed up but I have to talk to my counselor tomorrow to make an ED plan for my upcoming semester. I've been nervous for a whole week since I found out and I thought I was the only one. Thank you so so much you're amazing.

Thank you so much for this encouragement!!!!!

Thanks for the motivation, really appreciate it👍👍

Great video! I wish you all of the luck in your future endeavors.

I just got academicly dismissed from college, I was just starting to go full time and I need advice

Today I received the letter that I was dismissed from my dream college. I feel so worthless and like my life is over. I don’t know if I should appeal!

You’re an Inspiration. Thanks Man, I’m on academic probation but I’ve gotten two A’s on my classes last semester since they’ve accepted my appeal and I’m never gonna go down to a c or lower ever again!

mine was dealing with my introduction to psychology class.. my professor wasnt that good at teaching but i still pass my class with a c! lol it's way better than i thought i would do! i am so glad that i have support from my college!

I know I’m late on this video but I went through the same thing however I’ll be transferring and by you saying all of this makes me feel more inspired! Thank you so much!

Maybe some people just aren't meant for college.... If that person is too overwhelmed, to the extent of being uneasy, or they've tried and tried so many times to get high grades, only to leave with wasted tuition money and Fs....those signs could point to reconsidering college. Instead of going through the front door(traditional university), they'll have to find success through the back door(community college, trade schools, or working with no degree).

I’m in engineering and had to retake Calc III, never academically dismissed, but I felt some shame over having to redo that one class.

I currently have to withdraw in my second term and besides the terror and anxiety I felt before now I realized I really have to fix this. Thanks for the helpful words

Thanks for making POSITIVE reflections instead of the cliche arguments against college heard often on RU-vid. At the risk of sounding arrogant or stupid, I have at many times been down probation road. However, most times I am placed on progress probation not academic probation. And while I have been on probation recently with a GPA of a 3.2, most probation periods was administered through the financial aid office. Ive only been disqualified/dismissed from a school once 14 years ago! 3.2? 14 years ago? Recently put on probation? Is all of this the biggest lie or troll ever? Nope, not at all! let me explain. I tried school when I was 18. In fact, I tried 2 or 3 colleges in California, one in North cali and southern California. The third college I really did not attend as I only took a class and dropped it -- W grade-- no probation. The first college put me on probation. I left. The second one dismissed me but reinstated me. The first college put me on academic probation: cumulative GPA under a C. The second one dismissed me but reinstated me for progress probation: too many consecutive drops on transcript. This was 14 years ago. Now fast forward to 2012 at the age of 33 in a different state in a different college accreditation system -- not The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (California, Hawai'i, the Territories of Guam and American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands) but The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, NWCCU, (Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington). It's litterally like crossing a border. When I do transfer, I will have to show my California transcript. But more emphasis will be placed at my community college in Washington where I have 89 credits and a 3.01 GPA average, a B grade. I'm doing much better but I have been placed on probation. It was not issued by my school but by the financial aid department. Financial aid's policy is twice as strict. You are allowed to be on financial aid probation for 2 quarters. If by the third quarter your file is not making progress, your financial aid is dropped. Mt school never put me on probation, just financial aid. You are placed on warning status, if you only complete 3/4 of your current term if enrolled 3/4ths time or more. No warning status for 1 class. If you drop, you could loose all aid. When it comes to regular non-achievement, the school doesn't penalize you based on your quarterly performance. For example if you took 3 classes in fall with each one receiving a 2.9 grade but took 4 classes in the winter quarter but drooped 3, the school would probably not place you on probation quite yet. Financial aid, however, WOULD issue you a warning since they measure things quarterly not just holistically. You could have a 4.0 and still be placed on financial warning for dropping 1 class and only completing 5 credits out of the 10 credits originally enrolled in at the top of the term. So that's how I have a 3.0 GPA, in good standing with the school, but always on financial aid warning! Holistically, I've only dropped maybe 20 credits out of my 89 credits I have. Hence, I am still in good standing with the school. However, financial aid will put you on warning just for a a couple dropped classes even if you are doing great holistically. Did you take social psychology to fulfill upper division ge? Did you complete an AA or did you obtain a vocational AA instead of a transfer/liberal arts AA? Background information (only if you want to read it). Most universities in the Pacific Northwest will give you junior standing with most, if not all, GE lower division considered to have been fulfilled if you completed a direct transfer AA prior to transferring. University of Washington Seattle is an exception to this rule as most students need an additional 30 credits of GE after transferring. UW'S GE, which is called The Areas of Knowledge, consists of a whopping 75 credits. Whereas Western and Central Washington University would have had considered such a student to have fulfilled all GE if the student obtained an AA DTA prior to transfer. The California system of community colleges on the other hand do not really offer an articulation agreement between JC's and universities that has the same stipulation like that of JC's in the Pacific Northwest. However, JC'S in California have the IGETC. This not an AA degree. However, the DTA AA is an actual degree. Yet again, certification of the IGETC, for the most part, fulfills most, if not all, GE requirements for a UC. The California State University system (CSU), however, has no special package certification or AA degree stating you have fulfilled the GE requirements for all California State University schools. (Please note not all CSU schools place the acronym before the location like ALL UC schools do. For example California State University Long Beach is CSULB but San Diego State University which is part of the same system goes by SDSU. For those with an AA DTA obtained from accredited school from the Pacific Northwest , a resident of Oregon or Washington will have a fighting chance getting into top notch schools in Oregon or Washington. In Fact, Eastern Washington will auto accept you if all classes in the AA DTA package are above to a 2.0. Additionally, community colleges will even apply a course with a grade of a 1.0 to a DTA! Most grades in Washington are numerical, not a letter grade. It also makes it easier to calculate a GPA. If you get 3.7 in Sociology, then a 3.7 is calculated into your GPA. No confusion An A- on the other hand might be calculated using the lower number of the numbers, such as a 3.5. Some messed up system might even calculate all A's as 4.0's when calculating GPA! However, that would be kind of dishonest as a A- is clearly not a 4.0! It's usually a 3.5-3.7. Hence, it's kind of cool getting a numerical grade. In fact, if you were to go to the UW, they would have to convert all the letters into numbers! lol. California will not auto accept any AA holder into their universities. The chance of getting to a UC is slim pickens and extremely competitive. Plus, California has a huge population. The chances of getting into a CSU is much higher than getting accepted into a UC. ok. I wrote too much.

you should seriouslyu consider changing your intro.My fucking ears need medical attention after that

I’m so close being kicked out of college over stupid fucking shit they really do get on my nerves and annoy me my damn professor 😡

This suspension will affect pgwp right?

I just got the news today. I wansnt even informed that I was on parole. I wont be telling my parents I'm terrified of them, but I'm hoping to appeal and if not, I'm move back to the place where my uni is after summer and try applying for some online courses to bring up my gpa in the meantime

Is there anyway we can talk one on one?

wait question did he eve go back to that college or did he transfer because im going through something similar

I have a serious question how did you drop classes and also take more classes at a school you were already dismissed from ( its sounds like you're shopping at a store at 11pm even though they close at 8pm)

well .. art and filming is easier than communication i suppose..but yah u did make good progress.
