OH CRAP!

I don't know what mess I have gotten myself into this time. Read this:

Dear Joshua, based upon the guidelines which were established and approved by the faculty at Luther College, your recent academic performance has resulted in academic dismissal from Luther College. 
At this time, you may not continue your studies at Luther College as either a full- or part-time student.   Based on your performance, we hope you will take this time to reassess your academic goals.   In most cases, your academic status was not the result of only one semester’s work; instead, it has been a result of multiple semesters’ below average performance.  In general, students who have been struggling at a 4-year school often find a community college helpful in making an academic recovery.  We strongly encourage you to begin the process of enrolling at a community college. 
If you feel there are extenuating circumstances that resulted in your academic dismissal, an option to appeal is available to you.  You will need to contact the Student Academic Support Center as soon as possible at 563-387-1270 or sasc@luther.edu in order to begin the appeal process.  Please note that submitting an appeal is no guarantee of readmission to Luther. 
Any request for future readmission to Luther must be presented as a formal appeal.  Typically only appeals supported by one or more semesters of full-time enrollment in transferable courses (with grades of C- or better and a GPA of 2.50 or higher) at another accredited institution will be considered; an exception to this is mentioned above in regards to extenuating circumstances. 

If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me, the Dean for Student Life, or the Student Academic Support Center at your earliest convenience.  We wish you all the best.


The shit has hit the fan, and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. This doesn't sound as bad as I think it will be, though. It seems like an irrational thing to do because I'm only a first year who had a bad college tranisition, they wouldn't outright expel me right? I've gone into counseling and all of this to try and fix the situation I'm in. everything I can do to help my case keeps me in school that much longer. Hoping for the best *thumbs up*!!

Till next post!
