Can they do this?

Published

I have a huge problem. It is a long story so if you need more details I can provide but I'm going to shorten this here.

As of 1 week ago I was dismissed from school due to failing three classes which is their limit. The first two classes I failed was in September 2014, the third March 2015. The school checks everyone's grades after each session. Each session is 8 weeks long. I have since re-taken those classes and passed them as well as 3 other classes. I do not deny that I should have been dismissed but six months later after I've re-taken them as well as further classes? I have been receiving financial aid during this time as well. I don't know if this is right or if I should pursue a second appeal at the national level. Do I file a formal complaint. Do I have any rights here?

I hope someone can provide some sort of insight here.

Come on guys, don't be hard on her. She is sharing this post in hope to have some opinions about this. Well, I think at this point, your best option is to look for another school. I don't think it is wise to appeal anything at this point bc it would be useless. Try to look into other schools now and if you get in, make sure you stay on top of your grades from that moment on!

It's likely way too late at this point since its been nearly a year since this occurred. The maximum window for appeals is 30 days

As many others have said, I do not believe you were 'unaware' you had failed three classes. Perhaps consider an alternative career. Because if you can't pass the classes, how in the world do you think you'll pass the nclex?
