Inspiration for creating the blog
“What does it mean to be disqualified?”!
“Does anyone e
ver
get reinstated
?”
“I have no idea why I haven’t been passing classes.”!
“I studied like this in high school and earned B’s.”

Hello Becca,
I came across your blog on Wordpress and it seems that you really care about the students at the University. I am 26 years old and have recently been disqualified for the second time. What are my chances of being reinstated back? The advisers at the university are pretty intimidating so I thought I would ask other people first.
…I really do love school but found out late that I should have switched majors earlier.
Currently, I have a job at a Logistic company in which the President would love to promote me but without a degree he is unable to. I've been looking at options of attending another State school however, being that the disqualifications are on my records... I do not believe they would accept me. But I also do not know the chances of being accepted back into my current school. Any advice about your past experiences would be greatly appreciated . Hope to hear from you.
Thank you -Tony H.
