i sent in my HS transcript which had grades from freshman to senior first semester, with that i got accepted into St.Johns University. Because everything was done and all i started slacking off badly and ened up with a 70 average and even had to go to summer school. I didn't tell stjohns about this and i paid my tuition and everything. And now i got a letter saying that wanted my final transcript and my graduation date, so now i have this horrible average and im not even graduating on time, i will be graduating on august. If send in this horrible paper will they maybe cancel my fall term?

Maybe, it depends on their agreement with you. They really wouldn't be kicking you out, they'd be rescinding your acceptance. This is pretty rare, though. Save yourself the worrying and just call the admissions office and ask.

While your admission could be revoked, my guess is that probably the university will not reject you at this point. I would write them a brief letter explaining that you are taking summer school coursework until xx date, so your final transcript is not available yet.
However, as a professor, I am hoping that this was both a wake-up call and a learning experience for you. Thinking you had everything under control and then slacking off turned around and bit you -- and it could have even bigger repercussions yet since you don't know if it will prevent you from moving into your next set of challenges and goals.
Always do your best. It's a competitive world out there and lots of other people are continuing to work and achieve when you are kicking back and taking it easy -- who do you think will be positively recognized?
That's not to say that everyone should be cut-throat, or that you can't have down times, but it shows that you really do need to keep focused and disciplined if you want to reach challenging goals. Success grows from day to day consistency most of the time. Now that you know you can be your own worst enemy, turn that awareness into being your own best watchdog and caretaker. Good luck.

It is possible that they can rescind your acceptance. This is relatively rare, but it is possible, and schools have done it in the recent past.
You need to talk to your high school guidance counsellor first. Then contact admissions at St. John's and discuss.
Likely, you'll be okay. But it's possible that you won't.
You've taken a risk. This one might bite you in the tuckus. I hope everything works out for you.

No, they already accepted you. The worst they can do is put you on acedemic probation for the first semester (which is very common for someone with not so good grades). If your able to keep a C average in the first semster of college, they will drop your probation. IF not, they may remove you from their school.
It takes a lot to get removed. They either have to be so extreemly full they can't take anyone else, or just plain stupid. Remember, colleges are a business like any other. They are designed to make money. If you keep paying, they won't have muich of a problem.

Usually on your acceptance letter it says accepted assuming final marks are reflective of your marks you used to apply. So yes they can kick you out... Although usually they only do it if you have failed a class or something that you needed to be accepted.
