Life after suspension (1 Viewer)

[qwerty0120]

So I just received an email telling me that I am now officially suspended. I have a meeting with the dean on Thursday. Any suggestions on what I should do in this one year of suspension?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Could you provide some context first?

ah shit sorry mate, what happened?

Sorry what sort of context are you looking for? I could say that my parents separated but to be fair that's not really why I failed so many subjects. I was not prepared for the workload of university and did not realise the importance of uni work until everything was too late.

lol I thought you killed someone or cheated lol. Why would they suspend you for a year if you failed, they should give you more subjects instead!

haha guess I could suggest that to the dean, though the decision is final apparently and nothing could turn the tide around.

You must have failed quite a few units to be put on academic suspension... How many exactly?

It IS quite common actually (expelled for failing subjects).

Five courses, so 30 units.

I thought they sent you to summer school and charge for it

What degree is this for? I'm sure you don't need anyone to tell you that this is pretty serious, I don't know if your gpa could ever recover from something like this...

It's an engineering degree, and I could get back up on my feet if I get in the 80s range only for the next four or so years I think.

Maintaining 80+ marks consistently for the next four years will be very difficult unless you dramatically change your application to your studies. I really think you need to sit down with an academic adviser and have a look at your options.

look for work experience preferably in engineering if you plan to stay in it or go on holidays for a year to clear your mind


fark never thought you could get suspended from uni

 

[qwerty0120]

I've thought about the option of work experience in an engineering field, but who would hire anyone who's been suspended from university even for free? I will definitely speak with an academic advisor and figure out all the options that lies before me.

Just a quick question though, am I going to get forever killed off by engineering companies once they see this record on my academic transcript?

Thanks beforehand.

You have to memorise and perform an inspirational speech to the dean.

Can you really get suspended for failing units? I always thought the uni wouldn't so to obtain more money

That's painting our universities in a bit of a bad light, don't you think?

idk you'd be surprised
it'd take some initiative but if you looked around and offered free help/bitch-boy-service to a v small engineer based start up business you might get some work who knows

or you could always drop out, clean slate it and reapply through uac and go to usyd or something hey

during the period where your parents separated, did you go see a counselor or professional at all? If you did, and they can provide documentation on how the issues you went through impacted your marks, you could have some of your results changed to DNF (discontinue not fail).

Otherwise, it's a suspension, so you can come back from it. Or if you're worried about your academic record, you can apply to study somewhere else instead and they'll never know about your past.

Also, if the workload is too much, there are options like doing uni part-time, or doing less subjects per semester than the norm.
