I went to a community college about 10-11yrs ago. Didn't do too well due to certain circumstances at the time and dropped out. Now years later I have re-enrolled and am in the middle of my 2nd semester. I received A's & B's last semester and am currently on track to receive the same grades again in my classes this semester. Obvioulsy life is much different now in my late twenties then when I was 18. I am completely dedicated to finishing school first at the community college and then transfering to another school to get my Bachelors. I just received a call from the school counselor saying I am up for academic dismissal because of my grades from 1996???? I am totally surprised. Can they actually do this? I am going to meet with someone on Monday.

If you lied about your past education or the circumstances, then maybe. But otherwise I would have to say no. You dropped out and they can't kick you out for something that happened 11 years ago. I have to admit that the same thing kind of happened to me. I screwed up big time and was on academic probation. I went back to community college to clean up my academic situation (just for a few credits) and then went to a 4 year school and got a great degree with great grades. Amazing what a few years can do, isn't it?? Good luck. I would love to know what happens on Monday.

When I was 18 I was put on academic probation. Upon returning to a community college at 48 I had to list the grades from before. Then when I transferred to the 4 year university I attend at 18 as a Junior I had to relive the grades again and bring them up.
Hopefully, you were honest on your admissions application. If so talk to them about your seriousness in obtaining an education now. Also, check to see if you are at the same university if you are allowed to retake classes for either grade forgiveness or grade averaging.
Good luck I hope this helps you.

it variety of feels very extreme as you've been positioned for dismissal with out being on probation or suspension. you ought to have finished poorly to get a immediately dismissal. in case you wrote them the justifications you failed your instructions (typically situations previous your administration like health complications) and gave a proof as to a thanks to develop then perhaps they are going to evaluate you. you ought to have listed strategies you will develop in the experience that they allow you back in, alongside with what elements you'll use around the campus that could also help you. besides the undeniable fact that, attractiveness for dismissals are very uncommon. merely wish you wrote professionally and listed the justifications you would possibly want to no longer make sturdy grades alongside with data because they truthfully seem at data to help your claims. i know the frightened feeling and that i wish your appeal is primary! sturdy luck!

Meeting with someone is the best thing to do. Getting letters from teachers that could attribute to how hard-working of a student you are can help a lot as well.
I'm sure it'll be sorted out. Clearly you are shaping out to be a great student there.

I would hope that they would see you have changed. But schools can expell people for poor grades. Your recent grades should show them you have changed and you will need to retake the poor grades and redo those classes.
Good Luck.

That sounds crazy. There's got to be a mix-up somewhere, I'm sure. If the person you meet with on Monday isn't satisfactory, take it to someone higher, and higher, and higher, if necessary.

Stand on your current record.
It's up to the person handling things.
Be nice, polite, strong and STAND on your current record.
If they throw you out and you can do it, see a lawyer BUT DON'T THREATEN IN ADVANCE, that's a poor tactic.

Yes, they can do it-they did it to me. When you go in for the meeting with them be calm and state facts. That was then & this is now. You don't want to be dismissed, you want your education to be continuous.
