Please help, RPN to RN bridging Ryerson

Published

Hi Guys

I received an acceptance letter in April from centennial college to be registered in the bridging program with Ryerson University. I attended orientation today and was informed that my acceptance was a mistake as I failed first semester math (which i retook and passed). I was informed that i can remain in the bridging program but with a very slim to no chance of getting into Ryerson. Even though i have a 3.2 GPA which is above the entrance requirement and received a acceptance letter they will most likely reject me from the program after i complete the college portion due to the fail blemish on my transcript. (Even if i have a 4.0). This was announced during orientation and the head coordinator said that if we wanted to discuss it with her to make a appointment.

When i was accepted to the bridging program i took a part time RPN role at a local hospital so that i can both attend school and work. This false acceptance has really screwed me over as i had made life plans in the months after i was accepted preparing to start school.

What are my options? I will meet with the coordinator tomorrow. If she cannot help i will work my way up the authority chain to the dean of admissions at Ryerson. Do i have any legal rights in this matter?

I find it greatly alarming that because i failed a course 4 years ago due to some personal issues that now i am barred from improving my life. I was told they do not accept individuals who have "fails" on their transcript as this is some-kind of pilot project which is being studied.

I don't understand why they cannot just exclude me from the study.

I would appreciate any help or advice as my life is crashing down around me :(
