I was dismissed from college as an engineer. Now I plan to attend a community college also changing my major to history. I also do not want to attend the college I got dismissed from. I was wondering if I get good grades during the 2 years will a UC accept me when I transfer?

It really depends on the university that you transfer to. My suggestion to you it to take as many of the the General Education (GE) requirements for the UC degree program you intend to apply to at the community college (CC). If possible, retake the equivalent courses you may have failed at your previous school at the CC. This will prove to the UC school that you are serious about being re-admitted to a degree program.
Be sure that you recommit yourself to school and do well. If you need extra help from your professors, don't hesitate to make an appointment to see them.
If your post-dismissal GPA meets the UC's transfer requirements, they will most likely admit you. Keep in mind that they may initially admit you on probation so that they can monitor your progress.
Best wishes to you on your college career. Don't give up!

It shouldn't be a problem. If the school you were dismissed from is another UC, there may be a smalle problem with it, but there is usually an appeal process that you can go through...which usually ends up with you being reinstated for at least a quarter.
I would get in touch with a Counselor from the UC that you want to transfer to and work with them on this. But, if you do well in all of your classes, I think that there won't be a problem accepting you as a transfer...you will just have to explain what happened to make you be dismissed from the other school.

The problem you will face is the thought in people's heads that even if you could do well at a community college, maybe you just couldn't cut it at a university at the level of a UC. I also assume that if you were dismissed, you had poor grades, and those will count toward your overall GPA when you transfer. It is possible that one of the less competitive UCs (Merced or Riverside) would consider you if you had some evidence that whatever your earlier problems were, you had overcome them. But if you are doing this immediately, that may be hard to prove.

Yes, if you turn around your GPA and test scores, a college will look at you again. A dismissal, while a hard hit to the ego, is not necessarily the end all of your college career. Your scores and GPA may need to be higher than most when you make your full disclosure. You will likely end up getting interviewed by admissions at the school you choose; if you don't, take the initiative to call them and request one. Colleges give people a second chance, they will just be interested in the story on why your GPA suffered the first time. Best of luck on your new path!

Its although available even in spite of the actuality that this is complicated thinking the actuality that police officer jobs have become extra suitable competative. Pretyy lots being fired from any pastime is a few situation it somewhat is undesirable and can nicely be defined yet being fired as a police cadet is worst thinking the actuality that thats a police officer pastime in practise. and since the explanation grew to alter into he grew to alter into calling off too lots, thats shows unreliability and not taking the pastime heavily. the in simple terms remarkable thank you to remedy it somewhat is in simple terms too supply it some years and by that ingredient, contrinue his practise and do a useful pastime working a risk-free practices officer or some situation thats components regulation enforcement adventure. then jointly as he re applies he can prepare that he has replaced and matured. Then they might supply him a 2d hazard.
