Flunked out of first year university due to family problems, PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE.
Hello everyone,
So I attended Ryerson University for Accounting this past year, and unfortunately I was placed on academic probation first semester and I still won't be meeting the requirements so I'll be getting kicked out. Their is a fresh start program for people who are place on Required to Withdraw status but my marks also don't meet the requirements for that. The reason for my failure in school has nothing to do with this not being the right program or me not having the right intellect or work ethic. Simply put, many private family issues arose. I was forced to look after younger siblings (Rather not go into detail), work extra hours for my family has health concerns for my mother arose and my father had to leave the country to attend to some business. I was pretty much depressed and with this extra pressure I just couldn't properly intergrate into the university setting. First semester, I was able to keep up with course work and midterms but barely getting by, then I completely bombed finals. Placed on academic probation, but then my private life got even more insane. Found myself unable to sleep and constantly under anxiety and stress. I took less courses as per my probation contract, but my marks won't be as high as required. I sent an e-mail to a program advisor who told me I would be kicked out. I can apply for reinstatement after a year of no studies but chances are extremely slim that I will be admitted. I failed almost every course. I just need help, and please believe me when I say for a fact I am capable and willing to do well. This year was just to much, in high school I was pretty sheltered so a lot of the new things about university got to me I guess. The freedom made me feel as if I always had enough time to balance everything but I underestimated it, the independence was also something new. Constant pressure at home as well. If I were to take this summer and the fall semester off and continue in winter 2015, I can get everything back on track. Please give me advice?
I still havent begged the university or even told them what has happened to me in person, so should I consider begging them? If they still don't let me in what should I do? Is there any place I can upgrade marks or something like going to sheridan for a year? I was taking a lighter load in second semester but other stuff got too hectic and I still underestimated my capabilities. I know I should have taken advantage of the counsellors or just taken the semester off but I messed up so please don't tell me what I could have done, I just really need advice. I have an appointment with an advisor next week.unive
