So I'm required to withdraw.
Fuck, I'm panicking so much right now I don't know wtf to do.
School is only 3 days away and I am required to withdraw.
I was on probation the previous term because I fucked up the year before, and I really tried this term, but I managed to fail one course... and yeah...
+ Show Spoiler +
I have reviewed your record, and my understanding is that your Academic Standing is Required to Withdraw.
It would appear that this is due to Term GPA and Cumulative GPA being below 2.00 while on Probation &/or you did not fulfill your Probationary Contract for the Fall Term.


+ Show Spoiler +
3. REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW - Students will be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from their program for one of the following reasons:

i. A CGPA of less than 1.00; or

ii. BOTH a term GPA and CGPA below 2.00 while on probation; or

iii. Violation of any approved Department/School Standing variation; or

iv. Violation of a PROBATIONARY Contract.

Except in the case where students violate their PROBATIONARY Contract or approved Department/School Standing variations, students may only be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from their program following the Winter or Spring/Summer semesters. Students who would otherwise be RREQUIRED TO WITHDRAW at the end of the Fall semester, will be able to continue in their program for the subsequent Winter semester on PROBATION.

Students REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from their program following the Winter semester will not be eligible for reinstatement in their program until the Fall term of the following calendar year. However, with program permission and a Restricted PROBATIONARY Contract, a student may be allowed the opportunity to take courses in the immediately following Spring/Summer semester if such studies could result in a CLEAR Standing by the end of the Spring/Summer semester. If the student fails to achieve a CGPA of 2.00 at the end of the Spring/Summer semester, s/he will be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW.

Students who are REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW at the end of Spring/Summer semester will not be eligible for formal reinstatement in their program until the Fall term of the following calendar year.

Students who have been REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from a Ryerson program may not continue their program studies, but may apply in writing for formal reinstatement back into their original program, or for admission to another program. No courses taken prior to reinstatement will be granted Ryerson credit. Applications for reinstatement will be considered by Faculty and/or Program Admission Committees based on criteria, assessments and/or procedures developed by the Faculty or program in consultation with the Registrar's Office. Past academic performance and space availability will normally be considerations. Students who are reinstated to their program will be reinstated on PROBATION, and will be required to have a PROBATIONARY Contract as outlined in section 2.

Normally, students REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from a Ryerson program will not be considered for transfer to any other Ryerson program until they would be eligible to return to their original program.


I'm going to see one of the profs tmrw to see if I can do anything about this as I am so fucked right now.. and in need of some guidence. I certainly don't want to stop or make delays. The reason for that one fail course I won't make any excuses for it but fuck. What a way to start 2009.. T_T

What can I do.. T_T
(I'm in Theatre Production btw)

Go to your school's administrative building and talk to a counselor. Talk to several in fact. Talk to the people in the registration office. Essentially keep bugging them until you find someone that can help you, or you get at least 3 or more independent confirmations that there is nothing you can do.

Make sure you do it right away, go to the school early in the morning when the offices open up.
Do you really want chat rooms?

I guess you are going to have to come up with a plan of action for if your attempts to stay in the school fail. Another school/program? You are probably better off discussing this with people IRL than on online since we lack most of the background knowledge.

Also how exactly do they 'force you to withdraw'?

Ok that's about what I expected, but to be honest, it doesn't really sound like a forced withdrawal so much as an expulsion.

Same thing I guess...

almost happened to me when I was 17 and just generally unprepared for college. I took a year off to work, and It really helped me when I came back to school a year later.

I would say try to get in if you can, but if you can't work (if you can, do some work/volunteering in the theatre production field) and remember you can always come back. Check with the professors/counselors if you cant get in now, when the earliest you can get in/what you have to do to get back in. A lot of times they just force you to wait 1 or 2 semesters

Just focus on school man, you have to know what is important right now.... when I was in 1st year, I did like shit, then I realized my future depend on how I do in school, can't just have the mentality of "I can do whatever I want here", "study the night before exam", "party and play games all day" etc....

Looking back at my first quarter, I would rather have had more fun instead of just trying to get good grades.

Did you feel like this before you got the notice for withdrawl or only after you found out you were being fucked? Because sorry, if you really were committed to getting shit on and moving forward you would not have even come close to getting in this situation when you were already on probation. If you really are committed to getting on with it, then you would have felt this way already during your probation term and made sure this wouldnt happen.

You had all the reason (b/c of that probation which served as a red light to you) to step it up last term and work 10 hours a day to make sure you would be A-OK, but you didn't do that. Instead you allowed yourself to get into a position to get fucked over like this.

Hopefully you can start over with the proper mindset next time and fucking rape, I like you XDawn but this is really inexcusable (though I could simply not know some extenuating circumstances that may have caused it, in which case I apologize in advance). Also, sorry if I sound overly harsh but I think you could use a kick in the behind for future purposes.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is probation? How do you get on it? Failure of courses?

This. I'd definitely go and talk to some counselors in person. If you can't get back this year, get a job.

Hopefully you can convince administration to give you another shot. Did you have a full time job during this semester, or what happened exactly?

Fight like hell to stay in, go to whatever lengths you can go to.

However if you are forced to withdraw, seriously consider if continuing your education is what you really should be doing. You were placed on probation, which to most people would be a HUGE red flag that you werent approaching your studies correct. To fail after been given an ultimatum like that, means that you may not be cut out for study and that there is something else you should be pursuing.
