Will i ever get back into college after being academically dismissed?

I was Academically dismissed in the fall of 2006 from a suny school. In order for me to petition for re entry i had to attend a community college and pass to classes with a c or better.


I went to a community college in the spring of 2007.


I took 3 classes. I got a C+, B- and a D.


I was suppose to pass 2 classes with a C or better to get accepted back into the school. So i petitioned and didn't get accepted.


EVER SINCE then i've taken 11 classes in 2 semester. withdrew out of 9 failed 2 and passed 1 with a B+.





Let me explain why. I withdrew this semester because I've been working to pay bills. and the reason why i failed 2 classes because i've been working yet i managed to pass 1 class with a B+ i guess that was the only class which i attended and actually concentrated in.





I'm trying to go back to the SUNY i came from but i'm scared they might look at all the classes I withdrew and seen that I failed 2 classes and only passed 4. I just want to go back.

Unfortunately your record doesn't look very good, and that is probably why the university doesn't want to take a risk on having you as a student again. If you don't pass classes at community college, they can't understand how you would pass classes there either.





Instead of trying to get "back in" you should concentrate on how to do well in every class you take. Stop signing up for classes you can't handle, and study, study, study for the ones you are taking. When your record looks like you actually "catch" how to be a student, you should have no problem getting back into the school you want in.
Reply:You need to do something to redeem it.
Reply:Yes, it is possible to go back to college after being academically dismissed. However, you might want to re-evaluate your priorities first. Although this sounds harsh, it's something to think about. Are you ready to recommit yourself to your education? In this day and age, how can anyone go to school without working? I totally understand. I worked the entire time I was in college too.





Here's something to consider. Go to a Community College (CC). Retake the courses that you failed. Going to a CC is much more affordable. Start out slow. Just take one or two classes at most. Slowly get yourself back into the routine of studying. Make sure you work with an adviser to ensure that you are taking the right courses to fulfill your General Education requirements for your SUNY degree program. Sometimes universities readmit students after they have earned an Associates degree. Check with an adviser at the SUNY school about their readmission policies.





It sounds like you may have been taking on more than you should. 11 classes in 2 semesters? That sounds like a bit much. Too many "W's" (withdrawals grades) don't always look too favorable on your transcript.





As for financial aid, you probably won't qualify for it if your GPA isn't to their minimum standards. My fear is that if you are awarded financial aid and you don't pass your courses, you'll be wasting your aid and possibly you will be repaying loans on courses you failed. That sounds like a vicious cycle to get trapped into.





I have witnessed many success stories from former dismissed students. Don't give up. You can do this. Just start out slowly and truly recommit yourself to school.





Best wishes!
Reply:Make an appointment with a counselor there. You need a face to face interview with someone at SUNY. Come prepared for that meeting. On paper I would not accept you back. Reasons for doing poorly in class, withdrawing from class and requesting incomplete's are very frequently due to a student saying "they are working". The flip side of the coin is that there are hundreds of students working full-time, raising a family AND doing well in school.
