Attending Community College
If you cannot afford Open University you can attend your community college in the meantime to raise your overall (cumulative) GPA. Essentially you are trying to show the Appeals Board Committee that you are ready to be successful academically. If you are reinstated you will return on academic notice until you raise your CI GPA back to a 2.0.
Additional Information
Students will be informed on reinstatement decisions by the Academic Appeals Board typically 4-6 weeks after the reinstatement deadline.
