It’s completely reasonable if you’re upset to find out that you’ve been dismissed from school, but rest assured that hope is not lost. You can still attend college if that’s what you want, and you may even be able to go back to the school you were dismissed from by appealing your college’s decision or reapplying. If you’re looking for help navigating this process, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll break down what your dismissal means, show you how to get back into the same college, and offer some guidance on applying to a new school if that’s your best option.
Things You Should Know
- Appeal the dismissal by completing your school’s appeal form and submitting it.
- Re-enroll in the college you were dismissed from after your dismissal period has passed. You may need to reapply.
- Apply to a new school if you want a change. Every college will accept previously-dismissed students, so don’t sell yourself short.

College Admissions ConsultantStart by doing a little brainstorming. What are the qualities you have? What are the interests you have? Because inherently, those things are already pretty unique, since everyone has different interests and traits. From there, think about which of these traits and interests are most effective for a college admissions process. Which would be helpful and contribute to a college environment? Once you've determined which qualities stand out the most in terms of those criteria, you can start writing. Try to stick to 2-3 traits, though—you don't want to overextend yourself!
