In college...has anyone ever had to petition for a?

grade change/dismissal? If so, how difficult was it. I went to college right after high school and didn't do so well my second year - I ended up dropping out. I am now 28 and have recently gone back. I am now totally dedicated to school and doing well, but my old grades are hurting my GPA. Any advice?

You may be eligible for grade forgiveness, but you must retake the classes. The policies are different at each university or community college. Go see an educational advisor... they are there to help!In college...has anyone ever had to petition for a?
The way it went when I was in College was that you could retake two classes and have the grades from the first time through the course stricken from your GPA. It was the matter of filling out a single piece of paper.
It all depends on the school and the teacher. I am a Junior at a University and this past semester my teacher re checked my grades and she did change a grade on her own. Talk to your teacher first and if this do not work you may have to go to the Chancellor's office and file an appeal. But hurry up as schools have a deadline in which you can do this.....





Some rules are made to bent and broken you just have to find the right person who will do it for you.
I know a lot of schools actually have something called ';academic bankruptcy.'; In the case that I know best (through reading an undergraduate handbook not by doing it, mind you), you can essentially have your slate wiped clean if you have been out of school for 5 or more years. In the case with which I am familiar, you are only allowed to do this one time. Obviously, you have to give up any credits that you might have earned and start over from square one, but that might be an option if you failed a majority of your classes, made all D's, or something like that the first time around.
